Dealership drives away with awards hat-trick

A car dealership has driven away with a trio of accolades.

DS Durham picked up three honours at the national 2025 DS Prestige Awards.

The operator – part of the Croxdale Group – took home the Retailer of the Year and Most Improved Retailer titles, as well as the Marketing Award, during a ceremony at Northamptonshire’s Fawsley Hall.

Judges praised DS Durham’s team – led by managing director Anthony Rockingham – citing its “entrepreneurial approach, strong performance in new and used car sales, and consistent delivery of premium customer service”.

Anthony said: “Winning three awards is a huge honour for the team.

“This recognition reflects the hard work, high standards and customer-first approach that define everything we do.”

The awards brought together DS retailers from across the UK, with second place for the top honour going to Stellantis & You Leicester.

Stellantis & You London West secured third.

Jules Tilstone, DS Automobiles UK managing director, added: “Our retailers are key to delivering experiences to customers.

“From Durham to Leicester and beyond, the passion and professionalism on display across our network has never been stronger.”
