• Volvo Action Service Dealer of the Year (Ballyclare Dealerpoint) - Dennisons in Ballyclare won the small dealer award based on three criteria that demonstrate the Volvo uptime promise: 100 per cent breakdown job acceptance, 64 minute call to attendance, 91 per cent back on the road in less than four hours. This was the only award specifically for technicians.

• Service Excellence Award (Ballyclare Dealerpoint) - The service excellence and VAS awards were received by Dennison Commercials in Ballyclare specifically, due to the Dealerpoint’s particular achievements. The company’s Hillhead Road facility is the largest Dennisons Dealerpoint, employing over half of the group’s total workforce.

Dennisons has been consistently recognised as being amongst the best in the network and in the wider industry. This has been demonstrated year-on-year with a number of awards, both from Volvo and independent industry organisations.

“Volvo Trucks have recently launched a new marketing initiative called ‘24 hour Volvo’, which carries the message ‘Our Passion, Our People’, which I think perfectly sums up the culture of our organisation.

“I would like to personally extend my thanks to all staff for their continued efforts and take this opportunity to thank our customers for their continued support of the Volvo/Dennison partnership.”
