ISUZU UK announced its dealers of the year at an awards ceremony held at The Boiler Shop in Newcastle upon Tyne.
As well as 2019’s best and brightest dealers across the UK being recognised, many dealer staff were accredited as Pick-Up Professionals at the ceremony after completing their training programme. This means that not only are they pick-up specialists, they can also specify bespoke trucks to meet customers’ needs, however unique.
York Van Centre was named overall dealer of the year after scooping the trophies for Accessories Dealer of the Year and Marketing/Social Media of the Year.
The awards were presented by Isuzu UK managing director William Brown, Isuzu dealer training manager Donna Jeffrey and Isuzu head of sales Alan Able.
Brown said: ‘Congratulations to all the nominated and winning dealers on their amazing achievements, plus a huge well done to the Isuzu network on their commitment and efforts to make 2019 a real success for Isuzu.
