Bowker MINI have won a national marketing award for the second time in just three years.
The Bowker MINI centres in Blackburn and Preston beat off competition from more than 130 other UK centres to win the Marketing category at the MINI UK Retailer Awards.
Judges commented on Bowker MINI’s year, saying that: “exciting and comprehensive marketing activities covering events, content creation and local relevance meant Bowker edged ahead of the competition to win the award.”
Winners on the night were selected across a range of categories, including sales, marketing, financial services, and used cars, at the awards ceremony awards in Manchester hosted by writer and comedian Katherine Ryan.
Bowker MINI group marketing manager Amy Lancaster-Hall said: “It’s a proud achievement to win the national marketing award – but to win it twice is special for the whole team. The last time we won, we were in lockdown, and the celebration was a virtual one. It goes without saying that it was much more fun to celebrate in person.
“We have a small team compared with some larger dealer groups. But what we may lack in numbers, we make up for in hard work and creativity. This award is a credit to each and every one of them.”
The four-strong marketing team at Bowker MINI includes Amy, marketing executives Jess O’Neill and Charlotte Brown, and graphic designer Chloe Robinson.
Bowker MINI has been shortlisted for marketing excellence in seven out of the last eight years. In 2015, Bowker Motor Group marketing manager Amy Lancaster-Hall won the MINI Marketer of the Year category.
This year, the marketing team at Bowker MINI focused on the MINI electric, selling out by year-end. Bowker combined events, radio, email and social media channels featuring the MINI product genius videos.
Activity included product placement in partnership with the Royal Lancashire Show and Blackburn Rugby Club. Bowker MINI also delivered campaigns like the ‘Design Your Day’ social media competition, which generated over 50 test drives.
Bowker MINI was also shortlisted for the Big Love award. New for 2024, the ‘MINI Big Love’ award acknowledges those delivering significant and impactful initiatives, which could include charitable fundraising, volunteering, or efforts to reduce environmental impact.

There are a number of very good reasons reasons to choose MINI Service. One of them: the fact that Genuine MINI Parts are used at all times. Because nothing is more important than having “The Original”. Even when it comes to engine oil.
MINI engines unleash a driving dynamic like no other manufacturer. Innovative high-performance engines require premium oils that keep up with rapid development. In cooperation with Shell, Original MINI Engine Oils were developed based on the unique Shell PurePlus Technology.
Engine oil quality depends largely on its main components: the base oils. They make up approximately 75-90% of an engine oil. Original MINI Engine Oils are based on the new patented Shell PurePlus Technology, which makes base oils from natural gas instead of crude oil. The result: crystal clear base oils that contain virtually none of the impurities found in crude oil. Shell PurePlus Technology marks a breakthrough in how engine oils are formulated to provide enhanced viscosity, reduced friction and lower volatility.
So, what are the benefits?
SAFETY – Customers can count on MINI Service Centres to only use high-quality original products, including Genuine Parts and Original MINI Engine Oil. This guarantees the customer’s mobility.
SUSTAINABILITY – Original MINI Engine Oils reduce oil and fuel consumption – ensuring sustainable driving pleasure!
VALUE PRESERVATION – Using Original MINI Engine Oil keeps the engine clean and efficient. Along with MINI Service expertise, it helps maintain the vehicle’s value.

Bowker Preston MINI’s manager is calling time on his 30-year career working in the automotive retail sector.
Peter Turner, Bowker MINI Preston brand manager and a familiar face in Lancashire’s automotive retail community, is retiring in January.
Wiganner Peter first joined the Bowker Motor Group in 2002. Over the years, he left a lasting impact on the organisation, serving in various key roles. From 2002 to 2008, he contributed significantly to Bowker BMW in Preston and MINI in Blackburn as a Brand Manager.
In 2014, he took on successful sales management roles with motorcycle retailers Bowker Harley-Davidson and Bowker Motorrad, both located in Preston. In 2019, he returned to Bowker MINI in Preston as brand manager – a role which proved to be his last with the business.
Away from the cut and thrust of the automotive retail world, Peter now hopes to spend more time with wife, Vicky and two sons, Adam and Liam. Peter will also be travelling and spending more time watching and playing rugby league.
Reflecting on his career, Peter said: “I’ve had a great time with the Bowker Motor Group. But it’s time for a new chapter. I’ll take only great memories of colleagues and customers. We have enjoyed events and drive-outs together. I have been especially proud of the unique customer experience we have created. I know I’ll miss the team, but I am grateful for their support and excited for the future.”
For Bowker Motor Group, chief executive Paul Bowker said: “We’re lucky to work alongside some of the automotive trade’s good guys and girls here at Bowker. And Peter is no exception. His leadership and passion for delivering an exceptional retail experience earned him the respect and admiration of his colleagues and customers alike. He deserves his retirement, and he goes with all our best wishes.”

GET SET FOR WINTER.
Breakdowns are more common and can be more dangerous over the winter months, so be prepared for heavy rain, cold spells and challenging road conditions.
Now is the perfect time to book in your MINI for a Winter Health Check to make sure it’s ready for everything the colder months have in store.
The MINI Winter Health Check is just £29.99* and our experts will ensure all systems are in good working order. Plus, they’ll top up important fluids including screen wash, engine oil, AdBlue^ and antifreeze.
All aspects of your car including wheels and tyres, suspension and steering, under bonnet, exhaust and brake pads will be checked over. Our Technicians will prepare a health report and, using the latest technology, share a personalised talk-through video whilst your vehicle is on a ramp in the Workshop.
We’ll check:
- All lights
- Heat blower
- Horn
- Battery
- Fluid levels, including coolant, screenwash, steering and engine oil
- Steering mobility
- Brake pads and discs
- Wiper blades
- Tyre pressure and treads
- Drivebelt
- Exhaust
FRONT WINDSCREEN TREATMENT.
For an additional £24.99, your MINI can also receive a front windscreen treatment which creates a ‘hydrophobic’ effect on glass. This dramatically improves visibility in the rain and when travelling at speeds of 40mph and above, the need for wipers to operate will be significantly reduced due to the way the water beads off the treated glass.
ACCESSORIES TO GET YOU WINTER READY.
We also offer a whole range of accessories to keep you moving safely and smoothly as the temperatures begin to drop. While your MINI is with us, why not explore seasonal additions such as all-weather floor mats or a specialised set of MINI Cold Weather Wheels and Tyres?
For more information, or to make a booking, please call Bowker Blackburn on 01254 274333 or Bowker Preston on 01772 761234. Alternatively, complete the enquiry form on the page and we’ll call you back.
*Terms and conditions apply. Maximum one litre top-up per fluid. Subject to availability. ^AdBlue top-up applies to certain models only.
WINTER CARE FOR YOUR MINI.
With the colder winter months, proper maintenance and care is essential to ensure you keep getting the most from your MINI. Taking trips in wet or snowy weather conditions requires greater caution and attention while driving, and maybe even a little extra comfort too. To ensure that you have everything you need, we’ve compiled a special offer* package of winter products.
price for all four items: £24.99 (inc. VAT).
ANTI-FREEZE (1.5L)
Formulated and produced exclusively for BMW’s engine, the coolant fulfills the set requirements and standards, which in turn protect the engine against corrosion, freezing, boil over, and excessive silicate gel precipitation.
SCREENWASH (500ML)
Concentrated windscreen cleaner for use in winter. Prevents windscreen washer system from freezing, and prevents front windscreen from re-icing. High-quality detergents remove slush and road salt from the glass in seconds, for optimum visibility. Effective in undiluted form down to -63°C. Suitable for fan nozzles.
DE-ICER (500ML)
De-ices frozen over windows in a matter of seconds. Protects against re-freezing and ensures a clear view all around.
ICE SCRAPER
The dual-component ice scraper allows thorough removal of both snow and ice. The sturdy ridged blade for breaking ice at the front of the ice scraper removes even the most obstinate ice from the windscreen. The ice scraper is particularly non-slip due to the soft material grip padding and ideal to hold in the hand.

Design Your Own Futuristic MINI Electric.
We’re inspiring kids to unleash their creativity in our minds… with Crayola Competition.
At MINI we believe the future’s bright – and that everyone’s life should be full of colour. That’s why we’ve partnered with Crayola, and together we’re inviting the next generation to create the MINI Electric of the future. After all, they’ll be the ones who actually make it happen.
Is your child ready to get creative? It’s fun, it’s inspiring, it’s what MINI Electric and Crayola are all about.
LET’S TAKE THESE CRAYONS FOR A SPIN.
Children aged 4-10 are invited to download and print the MINI Electric template below to unleash their creativity. If that isn’t awesome enough, the winner of our favourite design will even get a VIP tour of MINI Plant Oxford, to see their vision come to life on a real MINI Electric. How many kids can say they’ve designed an electric car?!
Want a cherry on top? The winner’s school will also get a big bundle of Crayola goodies to enjoy.*
Please seek permission from your parent/guardian before entering this competition and ask them to submit your entry for you.
*Disclaimer: we take no responsibility if they’re the most popular kid in class.
THE BORING BITS (FOR THE GROWN UPS).
- Download the template and print it out.
- Your child uses crayons to create their perfect MINI Electric of the future. There’s also a description box for them (or you) to add a bit more detail about the idea. Remember to include the name of your child’s school, too.
- Take pictures of the design (or scan it) and email it us at mini.minds@popcornpr.co.uk. The competition is open from 18th September to 16th October 2023.
- Our combined MINI and Crayola judging panel will decide on the winner based on the ‘vision of the future’ brief.
- The winner will receive a tour of MINI Plant Oxford and get to see a MINI Electric wrapped in their design. Crayola goodies will also be sent to the winners’ school.
Please note: All entrant’s artwork and their child’s first name may be used for promotional purposes. It is also a condition of accepting the prize that the winner takes part in a photoshoot with the wrapped MINI Electric.
