AN independent car retailer in Widnes has been named one of the Top 100 Companies to Work for in the UK for a sixth consecutive year.

Motorpoint on Derby Road, which employs more than 800 people nationwide, received the award, which recognises businesses with only the very highest levels of employee engagement, at a ceremony hosted in Central London by Best Companies and the Sunday Times.

The honour comes only a matter of weeks since Motorpoint became one of a select number of retailers to receive Platinum Status from Feefo - the global reviews and customer insights technology company, for its outstanding customer service.

Cat Moseley, HR Director at Motorpoint, explained: “We are absolutely thrilled to be one of only a handful of companies to be named among the Top 100 Companies to Work For in the UK for a sixth consecutive year.

"The ongoing recognition has only been possible thanks to the tireless support of the team at Motorpoint and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for playing their part in helping us to bring our company values to life.”

Established in 1998, Motorpoint is the UK’s largest independent car retailer selling cars up to three years old and with less than 25,000 miles. It operates from locations in Birmingham, Birtley, Burnley, Castleford, Chingford, Derby, Glasgow, Newport, Oldbury, Peterborough, Sheffield, Swansea and Widnes
