30 July 2024

Three retailers from the Toyota Vantage Motor Group (York, Scarborough and Preston) received Ichiban Awards from Toyota Motor Europe (TME) in a ceremony held during the Olympic Games Paris 2024.

Ichiban in Japanese means ‘number one’. The awards are given every year to a few retailers that excel in delivering exceptional value to customer. 

This year a total of 46 retailers from across Europe received an Ichiban Award, selected from a total of 2,500 retailers.

Yoshihiro Nakata, President and CEO of Toyota Motor Europe, commented: “I am delighted to congratulate the 46 winners of the Ichiban Award, who have demonstrated their excellence in customer satisfaction, quality, and innovation. They are the true ambassadors of Toyota’s vision of providing mobility for all, and they have gone above and beyond to meet the diverse needs and expectations of our customers. They are the reason why Toyota has achieved a record sales performance in Europe, and I am proud to celebrate their achievements today. Attending the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, we are inspired by the spirit of excellence, teamwork, and respect that these retailers embody. They are the best of the best, and they are our Ichiban.”
