Hino NZ has named the winners of its 2020 Annual Awards which recognise the effort, dedication and excellence of its sales team.
The event was held on March 23 following its 2021 Sales Conference. The awards also acknowledged the “tumultuous period” that was affected by COVID-19.
Emerging with the top awards of the night, Whangarei sales engineer Shane Kemp claimed both Salesperson of the Year and Used Salesperson of the Year.
Auckland-based Aaron Thompson was awarded as the only sales engineer to crack the Hundred Club (100 units sold) in the recent year.
Region 1 (Northland, Auckland) took out Overall Region of the Year (ROTY) and 300 Series ROTY.
Region 2 (Waikato, Bay of Plenty) claimed 700 Series ROTY and Region 3 (New Plymouth, Manawatu, Hawke’s Bay, Wellington, Wairarapa) achieved 500 Series ROTY.
“I’m incredibly proud of our team on the back of what has been one of the most challenging years for sales in recent history, worldwide,” Hino NZ general manager Darren Salt says.
“The opportunity to recognise some of the hard work that goes into the day-to-day operation is what it’s all about.
“Our sales engineers have done themselves and the company proud.
“The awards also marked the end of an exciting and encouraging internal sales conference. We’re looking into the future and setting our sights high,” Salt says.
