Pedders Suspension 2008 Award Winners

Pedders Suspension recently held its National Conference at the Royal Pines Resort in February  and officially announced its 2008 Award winners. Grant Phillips of Pedders Bendigo has managed to top a fierce fight for the top store honour’s from other Group A stores to tie with fellow Pedders Suspension franchise Pedders Granville for the Top Store Award. The awards did not stop there – Pedders Bendigo also won the 2008 Top Regional Store Award.  
 
The Pedders Awards night was proudly hosted by Pedders own brand ambassador Neil Crompton with special guest Tony Cochrane from V8 Supercars Australia in what was to be one of the 2009 Pedders National Conference highlights.
 
Grant Phillips from Pedders Bendigo joint winner of Pedders Top Store Award for 2008 said:
“My team has worked extremely hard over the years and we have wanted to win this award again just to show everyone around us that we can do it. I would like to thank my staff at Pedders Bendigo and the team at Pedders Head office for all of their support – without you this would not be possible.”
 
Grant Phillips and family were also pleased to win this prestigious award again. Grant and his dedicated team have continued to forge ahead in both retail and trade. Grant plans to open up in the coming year a Pedders Suspension superstore that will be a purpose built state of the art mega store. Grant is all too familiar with winning awards and has previously won Top Regional Store in 03, 04, 06, 07 along with the Top Store Award back in 2005.
 
Con Rouggos from Pedders Granville joint winner of Pedders Top Store Award for 2008 said:
“I’d like to thank my family for their many years of support of myself in the store.  They have always been there to help me.  My team have also been great over the years and I’d like to thank them as well.  The team at head office have also been extremely supportive of my efforts so thanks to all.”
