Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited’s (MMAL) senior leadership team recently undertook a national roadshow to announce the Distinguished Dealer Awards for 2023.
MMAL chief executive Shaun Westcott and senior leaders visited Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth to personally congratulate the seven winners from around the country.
Established in 1981, the Mitsubishi Motors Australia Distinguished Dealer Award is the highest accolade available to its dealer network.
The award seeks to celebrate success across sales, aftersales, and customer experience at a dealership and represents the hard work and effort which staff at dealerships put in, as part of a team, throughout the previous year.
This iteration saw a solid cross-section of regional and metro dealers take the award, demonstrating the success that can be driven by performance across the country, while it also saw three dealerships take the award for the first time.
“The Distinguished Dealer Awards sets a high bar for dealers across Australia, as we seek to continually exceed our customer’s expectations by demonstrating excellence across the business,” Westcott says.
“Each year becomes increasingly competitive as we see the quality delivered by our dealers nationally, across sales, aftersales and customer experience.”
“This year is no different as we see a selection of consistently high performers continue to deliver and take out the awards, while there are some new achievers entering the field as well. We look forward to seeing what our dealer network will achieve in 2023 and beyond.”
