Bosch was awarded ‘Supplier of the Year’ at the annual ADF awards dinner in Birmingham on Thursday, 3rd December.

The award is one of the most coveted titles in the automotive aftermarket industry and is testament to Bosch’s commitment to continuous improvement and desire to buck downward sales trends by beating market expectations.

In the judges words, Bosch was clearly a company, “whose OE and technical product innovation and excellence is complemented by a programme of support and development for its partners”.

The criteria was extremely demanding. Once nominated, Bosch was judged by a panel of distributors, finally undergoing a rigorous ADF site inspection.

Robin Shaw (Divisional Director, Automotive Aftermarket) collected the award commenting, “It is always an honour to receive any accolade, but this award is one of the toughest to achieve. As a team, we set out with a determination to dramatically improve our service. We are delighted to receive this award as an indication that we are making progress towards our goal.”
