PACCAR Australia has recognised the outstanding dealership for DAF trucks over the past year.
The 2024 DAF Dealer of the Year was awarded to Brown and Hurley Kenworth DAF Caboolture, the first time the dealership has been awarded the accolade since its introduction in 2002.
The DAF Dealer of the Year award was presented to Kenworth DAF Caboolture Dealer Principal, Dylan Hurley.
The award acknowledges dealer performance across all areas of the DAF business and recognises excellence in truck sales, parts sales, service, finance, and overall customer support — all areas in which Kenworth DAF Caboolture excelled throughout 2024.
Since becoming the first dealer group to distribute heavy duty trucks in Australia in 1964, Brown and Hurley have expanded operations over the years with dealerships located throughout Queensland and New South Wales’ Northern Rivers.
Caboolture is the latest full-service dealership, opening its doors in 2015.
Damian Smethurst, PACCAR Australia’s Managing Director, presented the Dealer of the Year trophy, congratulating Dylan Hurley on his team’s outstanding performance.
“In a highly competitive and challenging market, customers are increasingly demanding more from dealers,” he said.
“Kenworth DAF Caboolture has not only succeeded in fulfilling these expectations but has also exceeded them by delivering outstanding customer service and professionalism,” continued Smethurst.
“The dealership’s ongoing investment in its personnel and facilities is highly valued. This enables them to provide customers with the latest products, services, and industry expertise—key attributes of a premier PACCAR Dealer that helps set a high standard in the industry.
“On behalf of PACCAR Australia, I would like to extend my congratulations to everyone at the dealership for their dedication and hard work. Everyone is truly deserving of this award, and I am confident they will continue to achieve success whilst maintaining the high standards for years to come.”
Dylan Hurley expressed his gratitude in accepting the award.
“On behalf of the entire Caboolture team, I am proud to accept this award. It is an honour to be recognised as the top-performing dealer by Australia’s leading heavy-duty truck manufacturer,” he said.
“I want to express my gratitude to our dedicated sales, service, and support professionals for their remarkable efforts. I also thank PACCAR for their exceptional products that allowed us to meet our customers’ needs.
“Despite a challenging year, our achievements are a testament to the commitment of our team, who consistently go the extra mile. This award is a well-deserved recognition for everyone involved and reflects the trust our valued DAF customers place in us.”
Hurley also acknowledged the crucial role the strong relationship with the PACCAR team had played in the success of the business.
