Vertu

Vertu is proud to be an Official Partner of the Greenock Telegraph Community Champion Awards, supporting and celebrating the communities they share in Inverclyde. Formally Macklin Motors, part of the Vertu group, Macklin Motors recently rebranded to Vertu, but the company’s dedication to local communities, exceptional service, and customer satisfaction remains stronger than ever. With a network of over 200 dealerships nationwide, and just shy of 20 of those stretching across the Central Belt, Vertu represents more than 30 of the world’s leading car manufacturers and has built a reputation for its award-winning customer service. Recently, Judge Service awarded Vertu a 98% customer satisfaction score, reinforcing its commitment to quality and care. They have a new name above the door, but the same friendly team you know and trust, the same expert advice on New & Used cars, Servicing, MOTs, and repairs, and the same exceptional customer experience. Through their support of the Community Champion Awards and their recent Vertu Food Drive for numerous local foodbanks, Vertu is proving that its commitment extends beyond cars – it’s about supporting the people who drive them.
