Dean Schewitz, the dealer principal of Honda Auto George, was also recognised as Dealer Principal of the Year along with Pierre Ungerer and Johnny Kipreos being honoured with Sales Manager and Parts Manager of the Year respectively. The Honda Auto George team were rewarded for their hard work and exceptional performance during 2013.
The highly sought-after awards recognise and reward outstanding achievements within the Honda SA dealer network, while acknowledging the importance of overall excellence in an ever tougher retail environment.
"Each member of the dealer network has played a vital role in Honda meeting its sales targets over the last financial year and these awards recognise their commitment to the Honda brand," said Graham Eagle, the director of sales and marketing at Honda Motor Southern Africa.
"A key element of achieving continued growth in SA will be to ensure that the customer's expe-rience of the Honda brand is overwhelmingly positive. And we can only achieve this if our dealers, across our entire product range, conti-nue to deliver to the highest possible standards," he added.
With Honda's dealer network divided into five size and performance based categories, five overall dealer of the year awards were presented to Honda Auto Westrand, Honda Auto Tygerberg, Honda Auto Helderberg, Honda Auto Klerksdorp and Honda Auto George.
