A DEDICATION to customers has been rewarded for Lilydale’s Glenmac Sales and Service, with the group receiving an award after just two years in town.
Glenmac was awarded as Victoria Metro Stihl Dealership of the Year 2013 last month after setting up shop in the area only two years ago.
General manager Jason McMillan said the staff were ecstatic about the award and that it was a demonstration of the hard work that had gone into the business since it began.
He said Glenmac had taken over from Hunter Macpherson in 2012 and that the business’s commitment to providing high-quality agricultural machinery to the Yarra Valley was as strong as ever.
“We’re really proud of what’s been achieved and we want to thank the Yarra Valley and Lilydale areas for their support,” Mr McMillan said.
“Without the customers, the business and the award wouldn’t be possible.”
The dealership of the year award is based on a number of factors ranging from customer satisfaction through to sales volumes and service levels.
Mr McMillan said the shop specialises in John Deere farming vehicles and that the company has had a long and successful history, beginning in 1978 in a small factory in Ferntree Gully.
“We’re a diverse business,” he said.
“All of our brands, we believe, are premium brands – from John Deere, to Stihl, Honda and Silvan.”
Glenmac Sales and Service is at 459 Maroondah Highway, Lilydale, and is open from 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday and 8am to noon on Saturdays.
