A Bradford-based car manufacturer has been named the best in the industry.

Ray Chapman Motors, located in Canal Road, announced that Volvo received the Manufacturer of the Year title at the 2025 Leasing.com Awards, which are uniquely data-driven, reflecting real consumer demand.

The award highlighted Volvo’s consistent demand across its electrification line-up.

Duncan Chapman, managing director at Ray Chapman Motors Bradford, said: “We’re thrilled to see Volvo recognised at the Leasing.com Awards – one of the most respected and prestigious events in the automotive industry.

“This recognition highlights Volvo’s continued commitment to both innovation and an ambitious electrification strategy, supporting society’s transition towards a more sustainable future on the road ahead of the government’s 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel car sales.

“At Ray Chapman Motors Bradford we’re proud to help Bradford drivers take steps towards this new future with our range of fully electric and hybrid vehicles.

“We understand that moving to a new kind of driving experience can feel like a big change, but – as this award shows – our team of experts is here to guide customers through every stage, offering trusted advice and reassurance as customers make the switch to electric.”
