The 2025 Hino Australia National Skills Champions have been announced.
Graham Reynolds from Wagga Trucks, Admir Music from Prestige Hino, and John Delahay from Sci-Fleet Hino Brisbane have won the Parts, Service and Sales titles, respectively.
These winners beat out 18 finalists from around the country who competed in the final, which was held at Hino Australia’s Sydney headquarters on 13 November following four months of qualifying rounds.
According to Hino Australia President and CEO, this competition displays the company’s commitment to enriching its dealership network.
“One of the longest-running events of its kind in the industry, the National Skills contest demonstrates Hino Australia’s dedication to continually enhancing the knowledge and capabilities of our dealership teams,” said Hino Australia President and CEO, Richard Emery.
Hino’s Sales Consultants showcased their knowledge and skills in a 700 Series role play scenario, followed by a tailored TrailerWIN task assessment and concluded the day with a sales mastermind quiz.
Service technicians were met with a series of practical assessments that tested their diagnostic and technical skills on the entire model range.
Moreover, Parts interpreters demonstrated their capabilities through a customer-focused role play scenario, followed by a live parts assessment, as well as the mastermind quiz.
“The Skills Contest provides us with a platform to test and recognise the expertise and dedication of our people while delivering a clear benefit to our customers through increased technical knowledge and skills,” Emery said.
“It is also key in our ability to attract and retain a workforce of skilled and dedicated parts, sales and service professionals throughout the country.
“The hard work and dedication of our team resulted in global recognition earlier in the year when we received our 17th consecutive Parts Department of the Year award, and the 14th successive Service Department of the Year Award.”
Each Skills Champion receives a cash reward and an expenses-paid trip to Japan.
