Daihatsu has chosen Osbourne Garages as the winner of its Regional Dealer of the Year 2006.

Paul Hegarty, Daihatsu Vehicle Distributors operations director, said: “We appreciate the efforts of all our dealers but some deserve special praise. These award winners have provided exceptional commitment and customer service during 2006 and for that we are truly grateful.”

In return for their efforts in 2006, staff at the dealership in East Cowes were presented with their award by Paul Tunnicliffe, managing director, Daihatsu Vehicle Distributors.

Daihatsu is hoping 2007 will see the continuation of last year’s dealer development by adding at least a further 20 new appointments on top of last year’s 18 newcomers to its network.
