Southpac Trucks has been awarded the best DAF truck dealer of 2014 from the 49 export markets outside the European Union.
The prestigious ‘Best overall dealer’ trophy was presented to Southpac Trucks general sales manager Richard Smart in Amsterdam at an awards dinner hosted inside the Louwman car museum in The Hague.
Smart was attending the annual sales operations meeting held in Amsterdam and says this is the first time yet that Southpac trucks has received the highly valued award.
DAF Trucks area sales Manager Geert van Genugten and sales director sales operations Michiel Kuijs (pictured above) presented the trophy to Smart at the award ceremony.
Smart says that 2014 was another record year for DAF in NZ with 208 trucks sold, and the first time in Southpac Trucks 20 year history that it reached the 400 truck mark with both brands.
“This is a great way to kick start 2015 off, and it is a credit to the sales and after sales team, and the dealer network in general across NZ,” says Smart.
“To beat 49 other countries with larger markets than NZ such as Australia, Taiwan, South Africa and many former Eastern Bloc nations, shows how committed Southpac Trucks is to the success of DAF trucks locally.”
