Much to celebrate at Iveco

With local dealers excelling and international initiatives taking centre stage, Iveco is tackling 2013 by the horns.

 

Iveco South Africa hosted its annual business conference and Dealer of the Year Awards recently, where Truck City was named Iveco’s Dealer of the Year for 2012.

The Dealer of the Year award is based on a number of criteria including: sales volume and market share, growth percentage, after-sales service, financial acumen and customer relations.

“We are passionate about trucks, doing good business and providing excellent service,” says Truck City dealer principal, Trevor Jones. “It is great to win awards and be recognised for hard work but our primary aim is to keep the customer happy – rewards are a bonus.”

Diedrick Kruger, from Truck Centre Wadeville, walked off with the Best Salesman of the Year award for 2012, while the Best Sales Team award went to Truck Centre Wadeville as well.

Shorts Commercial Vehicles was awarded The Most Improved Dealer of the Year award while, in the ever-important area of after sales, Jesse Carnell from Truck Centre won the Overall Parts Manager of the Year award.

“It’s an honour to recognise these accomplishments,” says Bob Lowden, Iveco South Africa’s managing director. Trevor and his team deliver top-notch service and are dedicated to customer satisfaction. Truck City is a model for success in all aspects of the dealership.”
