Across April, May & June we had more than 180 Mantra Award nominations from across the Group. The following 30 people were the winners of the April, May, or June monthly Mantra Award for their dealership / or the Corporate Department.

    What it means to live our Mantras

    Foot on the gas, fuel in the tank.

    • Our industry moves fast, so we work at pace, and maintain high levels of energy. We’re passionate, highly responsive and sustain a sense of calm urgency, to stay at the top of our game.
    • But it’s a marathon not a sprint, and there are plenty of races ahead. High performance here requires sustained energy and effort, resilience and consistency.
    • We don’t win at any cost. We remember the end game, focus on safety and ethics first, prioritise high standards, and make smart decisions for today and tomorrow.

    Winners keep working, champions keep challenging.

    • In everything we do, we retain an unwavering focus on achieving excellence, and raising the bar. We can never become complacent.
    • We keep improving as we grow, and growing as we improve.
    • We expect the highest standards of ourselves and our teammates, to ensure sustained success

    Drive your own race, just stay on the track.

    • We all own our part and we do what we say we will. But teamwork and family values are at our core. They set us apart and they’re key to our success.
    • Just like a family, we focus on safety first and take care of each other. We recognise that ‘life happens’ and we step in to help those who need us.
    • We champion each other. We take every
      opportunity to celebrate and recognise individual, team and organisational success.

    It takes a team to win.

    • Our customers matter so much. Without them, we wouldn’t be here. So we focus on delivering exceptional experiences, always. That’s our why.
    • It takes drive, consistency and deep care. It’s about not settling for ‘fine’. It’s being mindful of the customer and their needs, in every decision we take and every interaction we create.
    • We celebrate the positive impact we have on our customers – big and small. And if we fall short, we put it right and learn for the next race.

    Focus on the fans. They make it all possible.

    • How we achieve outcomes is just as important as what we achieve. We focus on positive, meaningful relationships, built on respect, integrity and trust.
    • We have our eyes on the environmental impact of our business. We play our part in the transition to climate friendly and renewable energy sources. And we all seek to have a tangible, lasting impact on the communities around us.
