New Holland dealers from around Australia and New Zealand came together last month for the Dealer of the Year Awards, which recognises the top-performing dealerships across the New Holland network.

The annual awards recognise top performance and commitment to customer success.

New Zealand dealership Stevenson & Taylor received the Dealer of the Year title for dealerships with one or two outlets, in their case at Waipukurau and Hastings, in addition to the inaugural award for CNH Dealer of the Year.

“I’m still struggling to believe that this has happened – we’re absolutely stoked to receive this award,” Robby Smith said. “The whole New Holland team has been an awesome help. We all run as a team, and it’s a good feeling to all be striving towards the same goal.”

Fellow New Zealand dealer, Agricentre South, was named New Holland Parts and Service Dealer of The Year, with dealer principal Grant Price accepting the award and commenting, “We really pride ourselves on our parts and service and this award is really dedicated to the team. Our teams put a lot of effort in, and it’s been a fantastic group effort.”

Aaron Bett, CNH business director – Agriculture ANZ, congratulated the award recipients and commended them for their outstanding dedication and service.

“Our ANZ network of more than 100 dealerships embody the New Holland promise to farmers of being ’with you season after season’,” he said. “Every year we are continually blown away by the calibre of performance and the breadth of services they provide to the hard-working farming community.

“This awards program serves to recognise the dealers across our network who have achieved exceptional outcomes across their operations, market share, service and business practices. We congratulate all our winners and finalists and thank each of our dealerships for their ongoing commitment to our brand and communities.”
