50 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE PORT MACQUARIE REGION
John McGuigan is in many ways the face of the Volkswagen brand in Australia. It is to him more than any other single dealer of the more than 100 in this country that our brand owes its status as the only European represented among the top 10 selling automakers in this crowded market. Whenever Volkswagen has been here, John has been there. The brand’s contemporary success was a remote prospect 50 years ago when the then-19year-old was appointed at Macquarie Auto Port. Indeed, Volkswagen was sKll at best a niche brand when we returned to Australia as a factory importer in 2001. Naturally, John was among the first dealers enfranchised. John, who even now remains Dealer Principal for Volkswagen at John Oxley Motors, has been not only Volkswagen’s longest serving dealer principal, he is among its most decorated. There can scarcely be room enough on his mantle for his array of Premium Dealer and Dealer of the Year Awards. To these add the seldom awarded Gold Pin and Diamond Pin. If a brand is only as good as its dealers, in John McGuigan we and you – the customer – could not be in beTer hands. Thank you, John, for your decades of making Volkswagen what it is in this country. Best wishes Michael Bartsch Managing Director Volkswagen Group Australia
