New Holland has announced the winners of its 2022 Dealer of The Year Awards, which celebrate excellence in performance and service quality across its extensive network of 104 dealers Australiawide.
Temora Truck and Tractor, from the north-east of the Riverina area of New South Wales was named New Holland 2022 Dealer of The Year.
Temora Truck and Tractor has been a well-known and highly regarded business in Temora since 1980. In 2019 it joined the Agricultural Equipment Holdings (AEH) group. Temora Truck and Tractor offer a true one stop shop for agriculture/construction machinery or heavy vehicle equipment sales, parts, accessories and servicing from its two fully equipped onsite workshops in Melaleuca Street, as well as service field vehicles fitted with the latest technology.
Temora Truck and Tractor Dealer Principal David Thompson said the team is honoured to win the award, following the dealership’s recent recognition as Runners Up in the 2021 Excellence in Small Business at the Temora Business Awards.
“This award is testament to the dedication and commitment of our team, and recognition of the support from the Temora Agriculture community and the AEH Group,” he said.
“The combination of long-standing staff experience and the passion of our team reflects the importance we place on the ultimate customer experience.
“By continually upskilling our team members with product knowledge, customer service skills, and people management training, we are confident in their ability to understand our customers’ needs to ensure the ultimate customer experience.”
In addition to being named New Holland’s 2022 Dealer of the Year, Temora Truck and Tractor was also named the winner of the High Horsepower Most Improved Performance category.
“Broadacre farming is an important market for Temora Truck and Tractor. With the introduction of the Precision Land Management (PLM) Intelligence within New Holland’s high horsepower range, we’ve implemented internal training and demonstration workshops for our sales and parts and service teams to secure our place in the market, providing a superior product and customer confidence in strong aftersales support,” said Mr Thompson.
Along with the Dealer of The Year award, Ronco Motors, a family run business that has operated from its existing premises in Pinnaroo, South Australia since 1960, was named the 2022 Precision Land Management (PLM) Dealer of The Year. This is the second consecutive year that Ronco Motors has been named as New Holland’s PLM Dealer of The Year, winning the award in 2021.
The business is now third generation family owned and has dealerships in Pinnaroo, Loxton and Karoonda. Ronco Motors has invested heavily in PLM so they can offer customers a complete and flexible PLM solution focussed on leading-edge solutions for managing all crop production needs.
Bruce Healy, General Manager of New Holland Australia & New Zealand, said the New Holland Dealer of The Year Award is the most prestigious award that a New Holland dealer can win.
“Apart from winning the trophy, the New Holland Dealer of The Year also receives $20,000 to spend in their business to enhance their customers’ experience with the New Holland brand,” Mr Healy said.
“Through these annual awards we recognise the outstanding efforts of our dealers across several criteria of excellence, including operations, market share, customer focus, and parts and service and use best in class business practices.
“Australian farmers truly are in the most capable hands, as demonstrated by the deep roots held by our dealers in their respective communities.
“A focus on PLM products continues to grow in the agricultural industry and become increasingly more important as data becomes a major driver in the industry.
“Congratulations to Temora Truck and Tractor Dealer Principals David and Renee Thompson, and Ronco Motors Dealer Principals Roydn and Louise Bailey, as well as everyone from their teams for their wins and dedication to New Holland. It’s very well deserved,” Mr Healy said.
