Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has celebrated the dedication shown across its UK network at the Annual Performance Awards.
The event, hosted last night (12 March 2026) at Abbey Road Studios, covered new and used sales, aftersales and customer experience across the brand’s 62 Van Centres and 31 Authorised Repairers in the UK.
Sinclair Van Centre Swansea took the Gold Award for Top Performing Van Centre.
The ceremony also saw two Gold Pin Awards presented – a prestigious award reserved for individuals across the network who have gone above and beyond for the brand and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ customers, with only 1% of the network ever receiving one.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles said the commitment to excellence shown by its UK network was key to the brand’s collective successes, in a year marked out for the launch of the new Transporter, as well as the addition of new eHybrid variants to the California, Multivan and Caddy Cargo line-ups.
Rob Holdcroft, head of sales at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, said: “We thank our brilliant network for their dedication and efforts throughout the year. Each and every one of our nationwide Van Centres plays a crucial role in our successes as a brand, and we look forward to building on these successes together in 2026.”
