The biggest space on their showroom shelf will be cleared to make way for the National Dealer of the Year award, but they will also have to find room for Commercial Dealer of the Year and Central Region Dealer of the Year.
At the gala event in Sydney on the weekend, Volkswagen Group Australia’s managing director Anke Koeckler presented the awards to Barloworld dealer principal Darryl Pribut.
“Barloworld Volkswagen Mascot performed incredibly well and is a deserving winner,” Ms Koeckler commented on the night.
“However, recognition should be given to the entire Volkswagen dealer network.
"2011 was a busy year for all of us and we would not have been able to achieve the sales figures we did without the commitment and hard work from all of our dealers.”
