Dealers across the UK and Ireland were recognised for their sales efforts at a recent awards ceremony.

The awards, which were announced at the recent dealer council meeting held following the opening of the new Claas academy, recognise overall dealer and tractor sales performance.

The Claas tractor sales performance award recognises the dealership that achieved the highest number of Claas tractor sales per branch in 12 months.

This was awarded to Alan Douglas Machinery based at Johnstownbridge, Co Kildare, and it is the second year running that a dealer from Ireland has won this award.

Five dealers were also awarded Claas platinum and gold dealer excellence awards.

These take into account all aspects of the dealer’s business, including not only standards of service and support offered by all the dealer’s branches to their customers, but also the company’s commitment to its own staff and the Claas franchise.
