Honda awards longevity silverware

The world-famous Belfry Hotel and Resort near Sutton Coldfield was the location for Honda UK’s 2022 annual dealer conference. The conference gave the firm the opportunity to bring its dealer network together to look back at a highly successful year while revealing its plans for the new season.

Alongside, the Japanese giant also held its UK Dealer Awards ceremony, handing out a slew of gongs, including the President’s Award to Clive Padgett, Dealer of the Year to Newcastle Motorcycles and Customer Satisfaction Dealer of the Year to JS Gedge of Pevensey. There were also a number of Long Service awards to some legendary names, including JS Gedge (60 years with Honda), Damerells of Saint Columb, Cornwall and Gloucester’s Thunder Road (both celebrating

50 years as Honda dealerships).

Neil Fletcher, head of motorcycles at Honda UK, said, “I look forward to this event every year, even more so this time following such a successful 2022! Our dealers have worked tirelessly and I’m hugely thankful for all their support, given the continued strong demand across the motorcycle industry. I can’t wait to see what 2023 holds. The start of our electric journey is soon to be a reality and this year sees the return of two important names to our model line-up, the Hornet and Transalp. We’re already seeing strong interest in these new and exciting models, with more coming in the near future. Quite simply, a fantastic evening was had by all and we couldn’t have been happier at concluding the celebrations by presenting the prestigious President’s award to Clive Padgett”.
