Managing Director of Gravells, Jonathan Gravell, has received the 2021 Terry Davies Automotive Award from the Welsh Motoring Writers.
The award recognises personal or corporate excellence in the automotive sector, and has been presented to many notable individuals since its founding in 2010. It was renamed the Terry Davies Automotive Award in 2017, in memory of the highly-respected former Chairman of Welsh Motoring Writers. Previous recipients of the award include Mazda Motors UK, the Welsh Automotive Forum and Ian Cameron, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Chief Designer (1999-2012) and Honda UK.
Simon Harris, Chairman of the Welsh Motoring Writers, said: “Gravells has been a valuable partner for all the automotive brands it has represented in South Wales for many years, including Kia UK. Family businesses such as Gravells thrive on loyalty and word of mouth helping retain clients and reach new ones, and this can only be done through excellent customer service. This is at the heart of how Jonathan Gravell runs the business. The fact that Gravells Motors recently gained a foothold across the border in England with Kia, although remarkable, should be no surprise. Jonathan is a very worthy recipient of the 2021 Terry Davies Automotive Award.”
Accepting the award, Jonathan Gravell commented: “It’s a great pleasure and a delight to receive this award. All Gravells staff work tirelessly to put our customers front and centre of the business, so to achieve this award means a huge amount not only to me but to the entire Gravells family of dealerships. This award is especially humbling, following the unprecedented circumstances over the past couple of years. I thank all the Welsh Motoring Writers for this outstanding recognition.”
