Penske Townsville has been awarded the 2025 Dealer of the Year platinum award as the top-performing dealership across Penske Australia & New Zealand’s truck dealer network.
The Queensland dealership beat strong competition from Wideland Group and Wakefield Trucks, which each earned gold awards in the highly competitive program.
Penske Brisbane (Wacol), Penske Lytton, Penske Perth, Penske Mackay, and Pengelly Trucks dealerships received silver awards for their performance across the network.
The awards program ranked each dealer against comprehensive business metrics covering truck sales, parts sales, service, and technical training for Western Star Trucks, MAN Truck & Bus, Dennis Eagle, and Detroit brands.
George Konstantinou, head of dealer capability – on-highway at Penske Australia & New Zealand, led the dealer team undertaking the award process.
“In the last year, we have implemented a brand-new, robust award program,” Konstantinou says.
“The Penske Townsville dealership delivered outstanding results, increasing its truck sales significantly within its prime market area for 2025.”
The Townsville team demonstrated solid performance in parts sales and heavily invested in technical training, meeting all OEM partner training requirements while achieving an outstanding net promoter score from customers.
Barry Castley, dealership manager of Penske Townsville, accepted the award on behalf of his team at Penske Australia & New Zealand’s recent Truck Sales Conference.
“This is such awesome recognition for our entire Townsville team,” Castley says.
“Throughout last year, our dealership worked incredibly hard to strengthen our relationships with customers, enhance our sales process, parts and service support, and technical training capability.”
Castley says he is extremely proud of the team being recognised for their efforts across all areas of the business.
