Mitsubishi Electric Announces Air Conditioning Dealer Awards
Saturday, April 21 was a big night for the air conditioning industry. During the Mitsubishi Electric conference held at the prestigious Peppers leisure and golf resort in the Blue Mountains, the annual Air Conditioning Dealer of the Year Awards were presented.
More than 100 Mitsubishi Electric dealers attended the five star occasion and saw Brian Needham of Needham Air Conditioning in Fremantle collect the coveted Mitsubishi Electric Australian Specialist Air Conditioning Dealer of the Year Award.
The presentation recognised air conditioning dealers from across the country with the 27 finalists representing all States. In total 47 awards were given in appreciation of the dealers dedication to providing and servicing Mitsubishi Electric air conditioning products.
Rare Million Dollar Awards were also presented to two Mitsubishi Electric dealers whose sales had surpassed the million dollar mark during the 2001/2002 program. Mr Tom Korhonen of AAA Air Conditioning in Canberra collected his first Million Dollar Award whilst Needham Air Conditioning scooped its third consecutive million plus award.
Brian Needham of Needham Air Conditioning - WA State, Million Dollar and Australian Specialist Air Conditioning Dealer of the Year winners commented: We were absolutely ecstatic to win the Specialist Air Conditioning Dealer of the Year award from Mitsubishi Electric. We had a poor summer but the guys at Needham Air Conditioning really worked hard to bring home the top award for a second year in a row. It was a surprise but a very nice one.
In addition Keith Allen a Director of Mitsubishi Electric Australia and General Manager of the Living Environment Group, also announced the seven winners of the Inaugural Pinnacle Awards for outstanding performance by a dealership. Winners received trophies and a weeks holiday for two at an exotic location.
Allen comments: The awards and the whole conference is about recognising the extraordinary efforts that the Mitsubishi Electric dealers put into providing customers across the country with the very best in air conditioning solutions. All of our dealers do an extraordinary job and I am pleased to see that this year we have had some new contenders among the established faces in our finalists list.
Allen continues: Later this year our specialist air conditioning dealer incentive trip to Thailand will take place where we hope to further cement the exceptional relationships developed between our dealers and Mitsubishi Electric.
