BMW Group Malaysia Holds Dealer Awards Night 2016

Every year, BMW Group Malaysia holds an Awards night to celebrate their performance and to recognize dealers who have performed exceptionally well. It's a night of festivities and a way to touch base with their dealers when it may be too hectic or frantic through the year as they busy themselves with the business of, well, selling cars. The 2016 Financial Year was good for BMW Group Malaysia as a whole, with growth in their BMW, MINI, and BMW Motorrad brands. 

The strong dealership network for BMW is naturally key to their successful growth and sales, and without the support of their dealers they would clearly not be able to have moved so many units through 2016. But more than the dealership as a whole, it is the people from the dealerships themselves- the people who interact with customers day to day- that truly make the customer experience and are on the frontlines when it comes to selling cars.

As such, BMW awarded various staff from various dealerships based on their performance through 2016. They are as follows:

BMW Vision Club Award

The BMW Vision Club Award recognizes individual accomplishments where 17 top achieving individuals in the levels of Head of Sales and Sales Advisor were acknowledged. In the categories for Sales Advisor, recipients of the Gold Category award were Paul Liew King Choong from Tian Siang Premium Auto and Richard Sim from Regas Premium Auto.
