eStar, has been crowned Van Dealer of the Year at the WhatVan? Awards, which took place yesterday (8 December), as well as recognised as Best Newcomer at the 2022 Knowsley Business Awards, which took place on 24 November.

Commenting on the night, the WhatVan? Awards judges said: “eStar was established in September 2020, taking over from a failed business. Within just two years it has transformed itself.”

Steve Bridge, Managing Director of eStar, said: “These two award wins show the breadth of our company – being recognised for both our strategic decision to move to Knowsley, and our outstanding Van team. Of course, by team, we’re covering virtually every aspect of our business, from Sales, to Admin, to Service, Parts, Finance, Marketing, and HR – we genuinely work together to keep our customers moving.

“I truly believe the best is still to come – we’re only just over two years old, so to be recognised in this way now just shows how exciting our future is too.”

eStar is currently recruiting a number of technician roles at its Knowsley campus. For more information, please click HERE to visit our careers page.

What do our customers say

“eStar's service was excellent."

eStar's service was excellent. The Sales Consultant was really attentive, paid attention to everything I was looking for, and found the perfect vehicle. They delivered the vehicle in person and took the time to provide a comprehensive overview of all its features and functions. I couldn't be happier.

"If ever I need them... they’ll always bend over backwards"

Flexible, customer-focused aftersales back-up is, therefore, more crucial than ever to the smooth running of our business. I’ve built up a very good relationship with General After Sales Manager Gareth Williams and his team at eStar Stoke, and know that if ever I need them to juggle things around they’ll always bend over backwards to accommodate us.

The service provided by the Dealer’s Truck Sales Consultant was also first-class. He’s a great guy and clearly understands what we need from a chassis.

"I’ve been really impressed with everything I’ve seen so far of the Dealer"

We’re an environmentally conscious business so I’m hoping that this is just the start of an ongoing relationship with eStar as we transition away from diesel and into more electric vehicles.

Certainly, I’ve been really impressed with everything I’ve seen so far of the Dealer. Its Van Sales Consultant clearly knows what he’s talking about when it comes to the technology. He’s been very informative and helpful throughout, while our eVito Tourer was delivered right on time.

"eStar understands our business"

eStar understands our business and what we need in terms of back-up. Inspections and routine services are carried out at times that suit us, and if ever we have an issue we know the Dealer will do everything it can to get the vehicle back on the road as quickly as possible. Communication is all-important at such times and eStar’s is excellent.

"I've given them 5 stars as that's what they deserve."

The service was very friendly and professional. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I found the staff very kind and helpful. All the work carried out was excellent, I've given them 5 stars as that's what they deserve and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Also the building was super nice and clean which just makes the whole experience as pleasant as possible.
