Jan Kohlmeier, Managing Director of MAN Truck & Bus UK Ltd, commented: “I would like to both thank and congratulate the shortlisted businesses and the overall winners of this year’s MAN Truck & Bus UK Ltd Dealer of the Year Awards. As always, given the high levels of professionalism our dealer network delivers, it was a close call, and at times the scoring was incredibly tight.
“However, as we tracked through the later stages of 2025, it became clear that one of our franchised partners was consistently delivering excellence across all areas of their business. In doing so, their commitment to delivering exceptional customer service, outstanding work rates and standards, and true dedication to the MAN brand has been noticed.”
“In recognition of an exceptional desire and willingness to strive for better business practices, as well as a constant focus on the customer and their needs at the heart of everything they do, I’m delighted to announce that our 2025 MAN Truck & Bus UK Dealer of the Year has been awarded to Manchetts Peterborough.”
