Auto industry honorees were recognized at Cherokee Media Group's Used Car Week

RENTON, Wash., Dec. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Car Pros Automotive Group, a leading automotive sales and service group, announced today that CFO Shirley Jones was honored with a 2024 "Women in Retail" award from Cherokee Media Group. This award recognizes top leaders on the retail side of the auto industry, including honorees from dealerships, dealer groups and third-party providers/vendors. The sixth annual "Women in Retail" award, sponsored by Car Gurus, was presented to honorees during a Leadership Luncheon on November 20th at Used Car Week 2024 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

"We are so proud of Shirley, not only for this well-deserved award, but for her commitment and dedication to Car Pros and, by extension, the automotive industry. Over the course of her career, Shirley has worked to cultivate confidence and motivation in our employees with the goal of helping to change lives, while also having a positive impact on customers," said Matthew Phillips, CEO of Car Pros Automotive Group.

Jones joined Car Pros as Office Manager in 2005, and rose to become Chief Financial Officer in 2018. She oversees all financial operations as CFO, and is responsible for the accuracy and integrity of financial statements, implementing effective financial controls, and providing strategic financial guidance to support Car Pros' growth and profitability. Additionally, Jones is actively involved in all aspects of operations including IT, HR, Compliance and Risk Management. She has worked to foster collaborative relationships across dealership departments, which has helped make Car Pros one of the US' top dealership groups – the 48th largest dealership group in the nation, the #1 Kia retailer in the US, with annual sales of over $1B.

During the recent Used Car Week conference, Jones also participated in the "Women in Retail" panel discussion, where she shared advice with women who are looking to break into traditionally male-dominated sectors within automotive. "It was an honor to join this session at Used Car Week, where I shared my experiences in this great industry and had the opportunity to encourage women to find their voice, to take risks, be their own advocate, and have confidence in their value and worth," said Jones. "Thank you to Cherokee Media Group for the opportunity to be part of this important discussion, and for recognizing me with a 2024 Women in Retail award."

Founded in 1993 by the Phillips family, Car Pros began as a small used car lot with just two employees. Today, Car Pros is a leading automotive sales and service group with over 700 employees and nine dealerships in Western Washington and Southern California, selling over 2,400 cars per month. Car Pros serves customers in the communities of Renton, Tacoma, Glendale, Los Angeles, Huntington Beach, and Moreno Valley.
