Mazda NewsPOSTED ON 6/3/202430 Years of Dedication – 2023 Mazda Master Dealer Excellence Awards Winners Recognised

Mazda Australia has announced the winners of its 2023 Master Dealer Excellence Awards, presented at an exclusive function in Melbourne in February.

On the 30th anniversary of these prestigious awards, a total of 15 Mazda dealers earned the coveted Master Dealer status, all demonstrating an unwavering dedication to making people and culture their priority, and ensuring their teams consistently provide a ‘one-size-fits-one’ experience for customers in every interaction.

Winners were split into five different categories – Metro 1, Metro 2, Metro 3, Provincial and Rural – with an additional award presented in the Rural category given how close the result was between the two victors. 

2023 also represents a record win for Toowoomba Mazda, which becomes the most decorated dealership in the history of the awards, having earned Mazda Master Dealer status every single year without fail since the program began in 1994.

Reflecting on another significant year, Mazda Australia Director of Sales, Jarrod Gieschen said: “For three decades we have witnessed constant innovation, exceptional customer service and unwavering dedication from the best of the best in our dealer network when judging these awards, and the results prove to us time and time again that we’re incredibly privileged to have such an active, invested and supportive dealer network that always strives to go above and beyond.

“A special mention must go to Toowoomba Mazda. Skilfully led by David Russell, this family-run dealership has set the standard from day one, fully embodying our Mazda brand values, and their enduring efforts and commitment has resulted in an unbeaten 30-year run of Mazda Master Dealer status – an incredible achievement that the whole team should be extremely proud of.”
