Unimo delights dealers at Yokohama Convention
Unimo Enterprises Ltd ( UEL) a fully owned subsidiary of United Motors Lanka ( UML) PLC recently held its annual convention for Yokohama tyre dealers. The Japanese tyre manufacturer's extensive product range has been distributed exclusively by UEL and its network of distributors since 2004.
The convention was held at the Grand Hotel in Nuwara Eliya. Instead of a typical dealer convention, however, UEL wanted to ensure a unique experience for its star performers. The company began the festivities in Colombo, surprising the distributors by booking an entire luxury train compartment to take them to their destination. The journey to Nuwara Eliya was a celebration of the dealers' success and was an opportunity for UEL to strengthen its relationships with its distributors. On the day of the convention, UEL organized a series of star- studded entertainment events, including a performance by the legendary Gypsies.
The following dealers and distributors were recognized for their outstanding performances during the year: N & N Enterprises - Winner, Distributor Category; U & H Wheel Services ( Pvt) Ltd - Winner, Dealer Category; Universal Tyre Services - First Runner- up, Dealer Category; Kusum Tyre Traders - Second Runner- up, Dealer Category; and Jayantha Traders - Third Runnerup, Dealer Category. The winners were awarded prizes that included Apple i Pads, BlackBerry smartphones and Samsung tablets. The event was graced by Mr. Imai Takeshi President Yokohama Asia Section and Mr. Satoshi Kanamaru Manager Marketing Yokohama Asia Section.
