Truck company lands customer excellence award
Brown and Hurley are putting Kyogle on the map.
The team at Kyogle have won the PACCAR Customer Excellence award.
Dealer principal Scott Walters said the award was recognition of the hard work the staff put in.
“We always rank highly in this award but this is the first time we have won,” Mr Walters said.
“Coffs Harbour won the last two years.”
For Brown and Hurley Kyogle, the real work is done after the sale and the team pride themselves on being the best in the industry for after-sale service.
The best equipment and the best service comes hand in hand, he said.
