Lookers offer a wide range of quality and prestige new and used cars alongside tailored after-sales and Motability services. Their divisions comprise automotive, agricultural and leasing. Lookers have grown from humble beginnings as a bicycle retailer founded at the start of the 20th Century, to a high-performing business with a diverse commercial portfolio. Today, the Manchester-based firm represents more than 30 leading car manufacturers across more than 150 dealerships, employing over 8,000 people. They supply upwards of 200,000 vehicles annually throughout the UK and Ireland. The firm's goal is to be recognised as providing the best customer experience in the UK retail motor sector. As such, the business is underpinned by a customer service led philosophy which is delivered through their talented and experienced people. This is embodied in the ethos 'For You, For Life', which is integral to their core values. Lookers celebrate outstanding performance and customer engagement at their annual event; the 'Lookers Excellence Awards'. With over 20 award categories, finalists and their partners are taken to a five star hotel, in an exclusive resort. In 2017 the event was held in Vilamoura, Portugal, the 2018 event was held in Monaco and the 2019 event in Berlin. During these events finalists are hosted by their Directors, throughout different events such as tapas or cocktail making or sunset yachting cruises.
