Loyalty shines at Furrow Automotive’s annual Service Anniversary Celebration

In a testament to Furrow Automotive’s commitment to its employees, company leaders gathered with a select group of staff members at the 2023 Service Anniversary Celebration. Furrow Automotive has built its reputation on treating everyone like family, from customers to employees. The loyal team members honored at this year’s event demonstrate that commitment, as each celebrated a milestone anniversary!

Honoring Service and Loyalty

Employees from Furrow Automotive’s dealerships, which include Infiniti of Chattanooga, Land Rover Chattanooga, Land Rover Knoxville, Mercedes-Benz of Knoxville, and Porsche of Chattanooga, were honored with a luncheon and awards ceremony commemorating 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 35 years of service. In an age where loyalty seems less and less prominent, these staff members bring this valued character trait back into the spotlight. Please join us in congratulating and thanking each of them. We know our company’s success would not be possible without their dedication and countless contributions.
