Arnold Clark was delighted to be honoured at this year's Auto Trader Retailer Awards.

Arnold Clark picked up the 'Innovation' prize at last week's prestigious awards ceremony.

The award was given to 'an exceptional retailer that had really responded to the needs of consumers and shaped their business to best meet their needs'.

It celebrates our commitment and investment in upskilling both the Arnold Clark workforce and the public in their understanding of alternatively fuelled vehicles through the launch of our Innovation Centre in Glasgow and its sister site in Stafford.

Arnold Clark Chief Executive Eddie Hawthorne responded to the award win and said: ‘It is really fantastic to see that the hard work of our teams to create a specific space that places innovation at its heart while operating as an informative education base on all things alternatively fuelled has been recognised.

'Our commitment to innovation and the move to EVs is an ongoing journey, and we have more exciting plans in the pipeline, so watch this space.’

Last year, after a £5 million investment, Arnold Clark opened their first Innovation Centre in Glasgow with the aim of educating visitors about the benefits of alternative fuel vehicles and why they are becoming so important.

There are no sales at the site, which is specifically an innovation, information, and educational centre.

  

Visitors can also learn about the different types of charging and generous government tax and grants available for those thinking of moving to electric.

During the Auto Trader Retailer Awards 2022, 16 trophies were handed out across seven categories celebrating the key elements of modern retailing, ranging from the best customer experience to sustainability.

The winners were determined by an independent judging panel of experts from some of the world's biggest brands as well as the opinions of thousands of car buyers.
