The Dagenham Motors dealership in Eltham celebrated its first birthday last month with the unveiling of a commemorative plaque at a special event for customers, guests and local people.
The event was supported by the new Mayor of Greenwich, Cllr Allan MacCarthy and Ford of Britain sales director Jon Wellsman, who commended the dealership for the work they had done in the local community since it opened its doors last June.
Dagenham Motors has a tradition of heavy involvement with community initiatives, supporting charities, disabled motorists and local schools. It most recently ran a road safety competition with local primary schools, highlighting ways for pupils to stay safe on the roads.
Chris Minter, General Manager for Dagenham Motors, said: “As a local business we feel it is important to give back to our local community which is why we wanted to invite everybody to share in the celebration of our first anniversary. We had a great afternoon and were so pleased to be supported not only by the Mayor himself, but by so many local people”.
Commenting on the event, the Mayor of Greenwich said: "The opening of this new dealership is a real boon for the borough as it not only includes a significant investment into the area but has also created nearly 30 new jobs in the borough at what is undoubtedly a challenging time for the economy. I would like to welcome Dagenham Motors to Greenwich and wish them all the best in the future".
Dagenham Motors is part of Ford Retail, the UK’s largest Ford Dealer Group. The Group invested approaching £1million in the new dealership at the Fiveways junction, which saw Ford return to Eltham for the first time in 10 years.
The celebration of their first anniversary follows another celebration by Dagenham Motors, which was recently awarded ‘Dealer Group of the Year’ by Motability Operations, in recognition of its commitment to helping disabled drivers get back on the road.
