The Motor Traders Association of NSW recently held its annual awards night to acknowledge excellence in the industry. The awards have become something of an institution in the motor trades industry as an award winner not only gains prestige and prominence from his or her peers but also stands to benefit from additional business or career opportunities.
The evening was a huge success with over 300 attendees attending the awards at the Hilton hotel Sydney. All guests sat in suspense as each category winner was announced.
MTA would like to thank their major sponsors the Drive & Capricorn Society
MTA would also like to thank the awards night category sponsors:
» Allianz
» Bamford Associates, Lawyers
» Body Shop News
» Capricorn Society
» Commonwealth Bank
» Drive
» Fraser Motorcycles
» Greenstamp
» MTA Apprenticeships Plus
» MTAA Superannuation
» Pro Visual Publishing
» Valvoline
Without the valuable contribution from all our Sponsors the evening would not have been as glamorous and as exciting as it was.
MTA urges all members to support our sponsors as much as they support MTA and you.
VIP guest on the night was:
The Hon. Catherine Eileen CUSACK, BEc(SocSc) MLC
» Member of the Legislative Council
» Shadow Minister for Fair Trading, Shadow Minister for Volunteering
» Member of Liberal Party
