Audi Australia has hosted its second consecutive virtual dealer awards event, this year broadcasting in a livestream from the New South Wales Art Gallery.
Audi Australia managing director Paul Sansom says the brand was determined to celebrate the 14th annual dealer of the year awards recognising the achievements of dealers around the country, especially after a difficult year that ended with Audi as the fastest-growing premium brand.
“It gives me great pleasure to recognise all of our dealers, who continue to set the bar higher each year, even when the game plan needs to constantly evolve according to environment around us,” Sansom says.
“We had to intensify our focus on our customers more than ever before. They relied upon us to protect them, at a fundamental level, but they also challenged us to innovate, to adapt and above all else, bring the best Audi product range we’ve ever had to this market…and then on top of that, bring it all to life through powerful communication.
“I’m equally proud of all of our dealer partners who showed determination, expertise and commitment to our customers. Every person, within every business that represents Audi here in Australia, has such a meaningful and valuable impact on our brand,” he says.
Audi Centre Sydney held its winning streak for the third year running as winner of the Major Metropolitan category. Audi Solitaire claimed first place in the Metropolitan category, while and Audi Alto Central Coast claimed first in the Rural category.
In addition to the overall Audi Dealer of the Year categories, the evening celebrated the Audi Foundation award, which recognises engagement with the Audi Foundation’s charity partners, inspiring a real sense of philanthropy within Australian communities.
