Carlin & Gazzard continues to win industry & franchise accolades

It has been a big few weeks for Mount Gambier car dealership Carlin & Gazzard with more industry awards coming their way following up from taking home the Mercedes-Benz 2022 Transformation Champion for the Retailer of the Year and runner up in the van category for the same honour, with Ben Collins snaring the Service Manager of the Year for both cars and vans.

The dealership has also made its mark in the Jeep and RAM Trucks franchise landscape with Chris Hann (pictured), who started with Carlin & Gazzard in 2016, recently securing some top awards.

Carlin & Gazzard was adjudged the Jeep Regional Dealer of the Year – an award judged by three sections of the dealership – sales, service and parts – looking at all three target achievement and customer satisfaction results.

Added to that honour was Chris named the national Sales Manager of the Year for Jeep, based on target achievement and percentage as well as customer satisfaction, with Chris also being ranked in the Top 16 National Sales Achievement Award rankings for RAM based on the number of sales in 2022.

“I started with Carlin and Gazzard in late 2016, starting as a used car sales consultant,” Chris said. “It was at the start of 2018 that I became Sales Manager of Jeep and then once the company took on RAM Trucks I became the sales manager of both our American brands, roles I still currently hold.”

Carlin and Gazzard took on the Jeep franchise in Mount Gambier late 2014 and the RAM Trucks franchise in April of 2019.
