The Isuzu Dealer of the Year awards were held recently, and recognition was given in different categories. Dealerships throughout the rest of the continent were also honoured at the event.
A distinction was also made in some categories between Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) that include Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) on the one side and Commercial Vehicles (CVs) on the other.
The award for the Top Volume Dealer (CV) was handed to Danie Opperman (main photo, top) of ITC Midrand, while Gary Klette (main photo, bottom) of Williams Hunt Midrand took the honours for Top Volume Dealer (LCV).

Heinie Boshoff’s (main photo) automotive career turned a full circle when he became the co-owner and a director of the Benba Motor Group in the Western Cape a couple of years ago. And he has never looked back after taking an opportunity presented to him after school and making the most of it.
