Audi Australia has celebrated the outstanding achievements of the national Dealer Network at a glittering event at The Star Event Centre in Sydney, to mark the 2018 Dealer of the Year awards (DOTY). Audi Australia Managing Director, Paul Sansom, praised the work of every individual in the dealer network for their strong contribution.
Hosted by Audi Ambassadors Steve Pizzati and Darren Palmer, the Audi Dealer of the Year awards, now in their 12th year, recognise the outstanding achievements of dealers around the country. This fosters a very real sense of competition between the network, despite the undeniable camaraderie and sense of family that exists.
“The Audi Vorsprung spirit of progress unites our entire team, and I couldn’t be prouder of all the winners tonight,” said Paul Sansom, Managing Director of Audi Australia.
“Winning an Audi Dealer of the Year award means that everything within the business has to be perfect throughout the entire year, in order to stand tall above a formidable set of peers.”
Audi Centre Sydney and Audi Centre Brighton claimed victory for the first time, in their respective Major Metropolitan and Metropolitan categories. Audi Alto Central Coast won its Rural category for the second year running.
“Our achievement in winning the 2018 Major Metropolitan Dealer of the Year is the result of an extraordinary team effort,” said Steve Cloete, Dealer Principal of Audi Centre Sydney.
“My entire team is committed to excellence right across our business, in order to ensure we deliver the best sales, service and customer experience for our Audi owners. This award is testament to their commitment and professionalism.”
In addition to the overall Audi Dealer of the Year awards, the evening celebrated the Audi quattro cup winners, which recognises outstanding individual performances over the full course of the year – in all areas of the business.
