Staff at Sherwoods Vauxhall in Darlington are celebrating after outperforming the rest of the franchised network in selling parts to other workshops.

The dealership has been presented with a trophy and £10,000 cheque by Vauxhall’s trade programmes manager Jim Wilkins.

Sherwoods’ managing director, Alasdair MacConachie, says some of the prize money will be spent on rewarding staff for their hard work. “It’s not just about the money, it’s being number one.

This is the culmination of a year of hard work for everyone in the Sherwoods team, especially the 20 people in the parts team.”
