Dealerships
Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire franchisee Northside Truck & Van has been named dealer of the year at the Mercedes-Benz Trucks awards.

As well as winning this top prize for the second time in three years, Northside picked up trophies for best marketing team and for best truck sales manager – a prize awarded to Ben Sowersby, who has since been promoted to managing director.

Northside was also runner-up in the truck sales dealer of the year category.

Northside employs 460 people across its seven branches, and is responsible for sales and support of the Mercedes-Benz and Fuso Canter light truck ranges.

Mike Belk, managing director of Mercedes-Benz Trucks, says: “Northside’s ethos of customer care and commitment starts at the top and runs through every level of the company. It is this which sets it apart, and makes it such a fantastic ambassador for the Mercedes-Benz Trucks brand.”

In January, the company was named Mercedes-Benz Vans’ retailer of the year for the second time running.
