BARNSLEY-based supplier of car parts and accessories has been shortlisted for ‘Independent Factor Team of the Year’.

Butlers Automotive have been nominated for the prize which is part of the Car and Accessory Trader (CAT) Awards. The event is set to be held at the Lowry Hotel, Manchester, on Friday February 8, and needs votes from local people to help bring back the award.

The nomination celebrated Butlers’ longevity as it has been trading in the town for more than 40 years. The announcement, according to the firm, is also a reflection of its continued business investment, helping to drive more business into the local area, spanning Barnsley and surrounding towns in South Yorkshire.

Managing director David Clarke said: “To be nominated for this award underlines the transformation the company has gone through and key to this has been the hard work from the Butlers Automotive team. Their passion for the business has been infectious and so we are urging the public and trade customers to continue their fantastic support by voting for us.”

The motor factor is calling on local people to get behind the business and cast their vote via CAT’s website here.
