Sinclair Group is celebrating two major wins at the annual Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Performance Awards.

Held at Abbey Road Studio, the ceremony highlights the dedication and service shown across the UK, with awards presented to the top-performing Van Centres, covering new and used sales, aftersales and customer excellence.

Sinclair Group’s Swansea Van Centre won ‘Top Performing Van Centre – Gold’.

Adam Lewis, Head of Franchise, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, said: “I’m thrilled that our Swansea Van Centre has been awarded ‘Top Performing Van Centre – Gold’.

“This achievement is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and passion of every member of our team.

“At Sinclair Group, we strive for excellence every day, and it’s fantastic to see that effort recognised by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.

“I’m proud to lead such a committed team and excited for what we can continue to achieve together.”

The celebrations continued as Julian Harrington, Brand Director at Sinclair Group, was awarded the Volkswagen ‘Gold Pin’ for his outstanding service to the brand.

Harrington said: “I’m incredibly proud to receive the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Gold Pin.

“It’s a real honour to be recognised in this way by a brand that I’ve been passionate about for many years.

“I’m also very proud to be part of the Sinclair Group – a business that shares the same commitment to excellence, customer service and long-term relationships.

“This recognition reflects the dedication of the whole team around me, and I’m grateful to work with such fantastic colleagues across the group and the wider Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles network.”

First launched in 1967, the Gold Pin recognises and celebrates those who have gone above and beyond in their roles, demonstrating a high level of dedication to the brand.

Since its inception, only around 1,200 people have been awarded the Gold Pin, further enhancing its prestige and exclusivity.

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.”
