CREWE Volkswagen has been awarded a special plinth to celebrate thirty years in business.

Crewe Volkswagen opened its doors for business in 1985, the year the first .com was registered, the first EastEnders episode aired and the year the iconic rock band Guns N’ Roses formed.

To mark its Pearl anniversary, Crewe Volkswagen brand manager, Ben Gilbert, was presented with a special plinth from Jason Webb, area sales manager of Volkswagen UK.

Mr Gilbert said: “Turning thirty is an incredible achievement for any business, especially considering the extremely difficult trading conditions of the recent recession.

“However, Crewe Volkswagen has continued to go from strength to strength, consistently delivering on all level, and last year but performed to such a standard that it was named number one in a league table of 200 retailers nationally.

“I am very proud of the business we have here, and of every member of staff, and we all very much look forward to the next thirty years.”

Crewe Volkswagen was recently named best Retailer in Volkswagen’s UK network.

The Weston Road business is part of the family-owned Swansway group, and Swansway director John Smyth was also on hand to celebrate the occasions.
