Milton Keynes, UK, 13 March 2026 – Last night at Abbey Road Studios, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles hosted its Annual Performance Awards, celebrating the strong performance shown across its UK network of 62 Van Centres and 31 Authorised Repairers.
The ceremony highlights the dedication and service shown across the UK network in 2025, with awards presented to the top-performing Van Centres, covering new and used sales, aftersales and customer excellence.
Coming out on top in 2025, Sinclair Van Centre Swansea received 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.
In the year that saw the new Transporter go on sale, as well as the addition of new eHybrid variants to the California, Multivan and Caddy Cargo line-ups, the commitment to excellence shown by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ UK network is key to the brand’s collective successes.
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.”

About Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles:
Over 75 years ago, the first Transporter arrived in the UK, creating a blueprint which others would follow: a van which gets the job done efficiently and reliably. Today, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles offers a diverse model range of commercial as well as passenger carrying and lifestyle models – from the compact Caddy, the evergreen Transporter and sturdy Crafter panel vans, dropsides and tippers, through the Multivan passenger carrier, and Caddy California, new California and Grand California campervans, to the ID. Buzz and ID. Buzz Cargo all-electric models, and the Amarok. The vehicles are as versatile and dependable as Volkswagens have always been, but the range is now wider, and more connected, modern and safer than ever.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is committed to working in partnership with individuals and businesses, providing them with the best products and aftersales support, whether they’re buying one or a thousand vans. For more information visit www.volkswagen-vans.co.uk
