Isuzu trucks NZ announces winning Grandmaster dealerships
Isuzu Trucks has announced the winners of the annual Grandmaster awards, the accolade presented to the best performing dealerships in the nationwide network.
“2020 was a rather unusual and challenging year, but across our network the Isuzu Truck team continued to focus on our customers,” said Dave Ballantyne, General Manager of Isuzu Trucks New Zealand.
“Pleasingly, their hard work and dedication meant Isuzu Trucks maintained our title as the Number One new-truck brand in the country, which was a remarkable achievement considering the uncertainty Covid-considerations forced upon the industry.
“Our key dealerships performed above and beyond, but there were two in particular which went that bit further. For their efforts, they have been recognised as Grandmaster winners for 2020.”
CAL Isuzu Hamilton was announced as the winning metropolitan dealer, while Robertson Isuzu in Palmerston North claimed the title as the best regional dealer.
The Grandmaster award winners were selected based on vehicle and parts sales, service, customer satisfaction, facility standards, commitment to technical training through to administration considerations.
Ashok Parbhu, Dealer Principal of CAL Isuzu Hamilton, was thrilled that his dealership was recognised as a Grand Master.
“We are humbled to receive this recognition, which has been achieved by a truly dedicated Sales, Parts, and Service Teams,” said Mr Parbhu.
“Without the support that these teams provide to our customers, we would not have achieved this award for the seventh consecutive year.’’
Terry Kurvink, Dealer Principal of Robertson
Isuzu, was similarly honoured to receive the Grandmaster award.
“I am extremely proud of our people, their commitment and efforts are reflected in what we were able to achieve in such a challenging year,” said Mr Kurvink.
Mr Ballantyne offered his congratulations to the two winning dealerships and their staff.
“The success of these dealers contributes to the outstanding performance of Isuzu Trucks in New Zealand, resulting in 21 consecutive years as the best-selling truck brand in the country.”
