Bentley Motors has been simultaneously named Britain’s most admired car company and recognized as overall number one in the category for Best Quality of Products according to a leading survey by prominent business magazine, Management Today.
The annual Most Admired Companies Study dates back 28 years and honours the best businesses throughout the country. The two awards reflect the quality of Bentley’s exquisite line-up of luxury motor cars, comprising the all-new Flying Spur, Mulsanne, Continental GT and Bentayga.
Bentley achieved 13th position overall in the extensive study of 250 leading British companies across 25 sectors. The country's largest public companies and leading employers were asked to evaluate their peers across 12 key criteria, making it the ultimate peer-review of corporate reputation.
Commenting on the recognition, the judges from Management Today, concluded:
"Britain’s Most Admired Companies remains one of the most in-depth and best-established corporate reputation surveys in the UK. This year, Bentley has not only scooped the criteria award for its quality of products, but it has also been named the country's most admired company in the automotive sector. To be held in the highest esteem by your peers - and fiercest critics - is one of the highest accolades a business can receive. A century after it was founded, Bentley continues to be a driving force in the industry."
Adrian Hallmark, Chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors, said: “Bentley is already the most sought-after luxury car brand in the world, so, we are delighted to receive further, independent recognition of our achievements, especially in the company’s centenary year.”
