North East firm Cookswell backs annual Arcade Awards

8 September 2014

 
The Morpeth family firm Cookswell Citroën has been announced as the main sponsor of this year’s Sanderson Arcade Awards which are due to be held next month.

The company has joined forces with the team at the Arcade to support the event which has a special birthday theme this year as the centre prepares to celebrate its 5th anniversary.

Plans for the event being held at Barluga on October 22nd are already underway and nominations are open for seven awards with the addition of a special achievement award to mark the centre’s birthday.

Cookswell was founded in Pegswood, Morpeth more than 50 years ago by the parents of the current directors Alan Dale and Julie Stephenson who both take an active role in the business alongside the third generation of the family – Claire Brind and Vickie Whitfield.

The company is well placed to support the awards as the team at Cookswell pride themselves on their customer service – they recently came out top in the north east region for after sales care out of 70 Citroën dealers.

The sales team at the Pegswood based firm are looking forward to introducing shoppers at the Arcade to the latest Citroën release – the C1 with its mirror technology which connects to your smart phone. The car will make up part of a display at the Arcade throughout the week of the awards.

Julie Stephenson From Cookswell said: “As a local family firm which has been in Morpeth for more than 50 years we know that all good businesses are built on their staff so we are delighted to be supporting a great event which recognises good practice and customer service here in the heart of the town.”

Centre Manager at Sanderson Arcade, Medi Parry, said: “It is fantastic to have Cookswell  as the main sponsor of this year’s awards.

“As it’s our 5th birthday we really want to make this event extra special and having a local company which spans five decades partnering the event really is great news. We are looking forward to a fantastic evening.”

Seven awards will be given in total with the Retailer of the Year Award open to the public through the Sanderson Arcade website.

Voting will close at 12pm on October 20th and the winners in all categories will be announced at the special red-carpet awards evening on October 22nd which will be hosted by Capital FM’s Rob Howard.
