STAFF at a Bolton BMW dealership welcomed some of the firm's top bosses for a special visit.

Williams Bolton BMW hosted a visit from Dr Nicolas Peter, head of BMW in Europe and Graham Grieve, chief executive officer at BMW Group UK, at its dealership in Vincent Way, Raikes Lane.

The guests were shown around the showroom, and learned about the role the dealership plays within the community in areas such as charitable giving, staff reward and recognition as well as local sports sponsorships.

Nick Cook, managing director at Williams Group, said: “We were thrilled to host such a prestigious visit, and receive this notable recognition for our innovation and commitment to developing our relationships internally with our extremely valued staff, and externally with our loyal customers, community groups, charities and sports organisations.

“The visit, and subsequent presentation that we gave to Dr Nicolas Peter and Graham Grieve, facilitated the opportunity to showcase our passion and recent achievements across Williams BMW and MINI retail centres, and share best practice as a template for other retail centres. Our prestigious visitors were clearly very impressed.”
