Dungannon’s Saltmarine Cars shine at the Northern Ireland Motor Industry Awards

The Northern Ireland Motor Industry Awards set out to recognise the achievements of individuals, teams and whole companies working within the local automotive sector and is the first time such an event has taken place. The inaugural gala awards ceremony took place the Crowne Plaza hotel in Belfast on November 3 with over 400 in attendance.

Hosted by TV’s Pamela Balentine and Cool FM presenter Curis McCosh the evening got off to the perfect start for Saltmarine Cars with our Trainee Mazda sales executive, Shane Devlin, winning the Rising Star award. Shane was nominated because of his immediate contribution to the business, his sales performance and his repour with customers.

Used Car Centre Manager Colin Hutton, was Highly Commended in the Sales Manager of the Year category while Darren Meehan won Aftersales Manager of the Year for his outstanding performance and commitment to the industry and his team.

Michael Salt, who was Highly Commended in the Dealer Principal of the Year category commented, “We are absolutely thrilled to have been recognised for so many awards. To be shortlisted in 8 categories alone was a great achievement and demonstrates the success of our business across all departments. I’d like to congratulate our winners and thank all of our staff and customers for their support and loyalty”.
