The Allports Truck Centre representatives spent more time on stage than off at the Renault Trucks 2007 network awards ceremony held at Alton Towers on February 8th.

The company was named joint winner of the coveted Used Truck Distributor of the Year award, based on achieving leading standards in the Renault Trucks quality assessments. Allports Truck Centre also took the top prize in the Used Truck Distributor Sales Team category,      comprehensively beating its targets and creating significant growth for their business. Allports Truck Centre’s team of three people, managing sales and administration, were highly commended for their efforts to be the best in all areas of the Used Vehicles Sales Business.

In addition, Allports’ Used Vehicle Sales Director Andy Craven-Jones, together with sales executive David Brindle, were winners of the Renault Trucks used vehicles sales incentive scheme for achieving  individual objectives and will be jetting off to a well-deserved holiday in Marrakech. Andy was also singled out in the Renault Trucks’ Financial Services section in the category for used sales finance - having made the most outstanding contribution, by doubling his 2006 new business performance.

“Andy is real professional and these awards just prove to the outside world what we already know. We are delighted for him and also for the whole Allports team at the recognition we have received,” commented Mark Sanders, joint MD of Allports Truck Centre.

“Our work with Renault Trucks is an extremely important part of our business and one which is growing year on year since we began over twenty years ago. Our strength is in understanding our customers’ needs and providing flexible options both in truck and trailer configurations and in the acquisition and finance package. Our trophy as Distributor of the Year, along with our other awards, will be very proudly displayed at our Lichfield headquarters.”
