Hyundai has awarded its highest-performing Australian dealerships in its Platinum Dealer of the Year Program for 2021.
The Hyundai Platinum Dealer Program recognises and rewards outstanding performance across all aspects of dealer operations including sales, share, product mix and customer experience.
The Hyundai Platinum Dealers for 2021 were announced on Thursday March 10 during a virtual Dealer Principal meeting.
The National Platinum Dealer Winners for 2021 are:
Pennant Hills Hyundai Dealer Principal Chris Daly and owner Chad Davies were elated:
“The Hyundai brand is of the utmost importance to CKD Automotive, so for Pennant Hills Hyundai to be recognised with a Hyundai Platinum Dealer Award is by far the most significant accolade a dealership has received in the company’s history,” Pennant Hills Hyundai owner, Chad Davies said.
“The Hyundai Platinum Dealer Program is recognised as a highly sought-after award within the dealer network and it is especially gratifying to be awarded in 2021, which was a year of some incredibly trying times for the industry,” Pennant Hills Hyundai Dealer Principal, Chris Daly said.
“Securing the Hyundai Platinum Dealer Award is a whole-of-business effort that requires every department to function at its peak and, fortunately for us, each area of the business did pull together and do just that, to deliver the results,” Mr. Daly said.
Holt’s Hyundai Dealer Principal Trevor Holt was equally chuffed:
“Winning a Hyundai Platinum Dealer Award is a wonderful achievement; it’s terrific to be recognised for doing a great job,” Mr. Holt said.
“The incredible suite of new cars Hyundai is producing really makes our job easy,” he said.
“In sales and service, it’s not just selling a person a car, it’s retaining that customer for life. Being in a small community we have families who buy multiple cars throughout the generations. Repeat business is the only way our dealership can work."
“We’ve been in business since 1926 - I’m third generation - and we’ve had Hyundai since 2005. After so many successful years with the brand it’s just great to be recognised as being right at the pointy end,” Mr. Holt said.
“It is with immense pride that we recognise our highest performing Dealerships and thank them and their staff for their ongoing commitment to the Hyundai brand and our customers,” Hyundai Motor Company Australia Chief Executive Officer, Ted Lee said.
“We congratulate our 2021 Dealer of the Year and Award winners for setting a high standard and delivering outstanding results against the backdrop of the many challenges experienced over the course of the year,” Mr. Lee said.
