HIGH PRAISE FOR THE UK DEALER TRADE Amazing acclaim through Dealer of the Year nominations
With Chris away this week, rather than some wise words, a spot of housekeeping, as it's the final day to get in your votes for our Dealer of the Year competition - which this year is honoured to have as its principal sponsor Briggs & Stratton.
We have been really pleased at the amount and quality of votes we have received from both Manufacturers and Dealers for the competition. The raft of positive comments are reflecting what we are hearing anecdotally that it's a very good season out there, with superbly run dealerships up and down the country, doing great and canny business.
A selection of the praise we're hearing for the UK independent dealer trade includes:
"Outstanding sales growth"
"Fantastic service support"
"Consistent performance over a number of years"
"Strong commitment to supply the right machine for the job"
"Goes the extra mile to make sure customers' needs are met"
And we could go on and on . . .
But if you are a manufacturer or a supplier reading this today (Friday 1st August), and you're thinking 'hang on, I want some of my outstanding dealers in with a shout of being recognised', please let us know. Download the nomination form and get it back to us as soon as possible.
And Dealers, we want to hear from you too please! Let us know about your outstanding Apprentices - as they stand a chance of winning an award this year as well. Download the Apprentice of The Year nomination form.
