Australia’s top selling heavy duty truck brand, Kenworthm, has announced its 2025 Dealer of the Year, with Brown and Hurley Kenworth DAF in Toowoomba being awarded gong at the Paccar Dealer of the Year event recently.
Back in 1964 the Brown and Hurley Group became the first distributor of Kenworth trucks in Australia, originally providing services to customers in Queensland and NSW’s Northern Rivers region something the group has continued to this day.
The Group’s full-service Toowoomba dealership first opened its doors to customers in 2009.
This accolade for the Toowoomba operation highlights its commitment to customer service, as well as for innovative solutions, and its exemplary performance within the Paccar dealer network.
Paccar Australia says that the dealership has consistently exceeded its expectations, showcased the ability to connect with customers and deliver results.
The company says that the commitment to customer service has been a defining characteristic of Brown and Hurley Kenworth DAF Toowoomba, and their focus on providing responsive after-sales support and service has reinforced its position as a trusted partner with its customers.
“We are pleased to announce Brown and Hurley Kenworth DAF Toowoomba as the 2025 Kenworth Dealer of the Year,” said Paccar Australia’s director of sales and marketing Michael Long.
“The positive ‘can do’ attitude is demonstrated across all aspects of their business and the team continue to maintain extremely strong relationships with customers,” added Long.
Long highlighted the dealership’s commitment to excellence and their focus on customers when he presented the award to Brown and Hurley Kenworth DAF Toowoomba’s dealer principal, Brian Bennetts.
“I’m extremely proud of the work our team has done – we’ve really concentrated on our customers and supporting them in every way possible,” Bennetts said when accepting the award.
“If you do the right thing by your customers success will follow, and this is the award that every Kenworth dealership wants to win, so we’re thrilled to have been named Dealer of the Year,” he said.
It is the second time the Toowoomba dealership has been awarded Kenworth Dealer of the Year honours.
