Audi announces winners at its Excellence Awards

Monday 22 February, 2016

Audi’s most accomplished dealers were celebrated on Friday night at the highly competitive annual Audi Excellence Awards, at the Hilton Taupo Hotel.

The awards recognise outstanding achievement in sales, parts, finance, customer satisfaction, and top quality service, across nine Audi dealerships nationwide.

20 awards were presented to dealers across 12 categories. Award winning dealers received prizes in the form of plaques, trophies and hospitality packages.

Giltrap Audi (Auckland) took home the Metro (main centre) Dealer of the Year prize. Dealer Principal Gary Periam says "I am of course delighted with winning this award. It backs up the acknowledgement of all the hard work from my team of delivering a seamless customer experience which is world class."

Bay Prestige (Tauranga) was awarded Non-Metro (regional) Dealer of the Year.

According to Dean Sheed, Audi New Zealand General Manager, "The Audi Excellence Awards are all about recognising the hard work and dedication of our staff from across the country in providing the best possible service to our customers. It’s the consistent devotion and dedication from our team members, who provide customers with the best experience and motoring knowledge, which really sets Audi in a league of its own. We are incredibly proud to celebrate our staff and would like to congratulate all finalists and winners.”

 Congratulations to all of the 2015 Audi Excellence Award winners and runner ups
