Setting the Standard in Vehicle Conversion
We’re honoured to announce that CPD has been recognised twice at the SME News Visionary Leadership Awards 2025, receiving the Customer Service Excellence Award and Commercial Director of the Year for Tom Pearson.
These awards are a reflection of everything that drives our business, customer focus, quality, and the people behind every build.
Customer Service Excellence Award 2025
Winning the Customer Service Excellence Award highlights the standards that define every part of CPD’s approach, from the first enquiry through to aftersales support.
For us, customer service is part of every decision we make, whether that’s helping customers convert the right vehicle for their business or ensuring every vehicle meets the highest quality standards.
This recognition from SME News reinforces that our approach to partnership, transparency, and long-term support is truly making a difference in the industry.
Commercial Director of the Year: Tom Pearson
Alongside this, we’re incredibly proud that Tom Pearson, CPD’s Commercial Director, has been named Commercial Director of the Year 2025.
Tom’s leadership has been instrumental in guiding CPD’s growth, championing innovation, strengthening customer relationships, and ensuring that quality and service remain central to everything we do.
His award is a reflection not just of individual achievement, but of the collective culture at CPD: one that values integrity, teamwork, and continuous improvement.
“These awards recognise the people who make CPD what it is. From our sales team to our workshop and aftersales departments, every person plays a part in delivering the service and standards our customers rely on. It’s a real team achievement.”
- Tom Pearson, Commercial Director
