With new vehicle sales off to a strong start, Bank Windhoek celebrates the achievements of automotive salespeople and dealerships from 2023 to 2024.
According to a statement issued by the bank’s spokesperson, Samuel Linyondi, the financial institution held the first edition of the Bank Windhoek Vehicle and Asset Finance Coastal Selekt Sales Awards ceremony on 13 March at Walvis Bay in their honour.
Bank Windhoek acting head of specialist finance Sandra Blaauw applauds salespeople and dealerships for their hard work and dedication to Bank Windhoek in vehicle financing.
She urges the salespeople to “continue their commitment towards assisting their customers, with Bank Windhoek as their partner”.
Eddie Bamm of Indogo Toyota Swakopmund scooped the gold award as the overall top salesperson.
He has worked for Indongo Toyota Swakopmund for about 11 years and says receiving his award motivates him to reach more career goals.
“I always aim for and set goals and remain positive to achieve them,” he says, applauding Bank Windhoek for processing applications on time.
John Feris, who has worked for Indongo Toyota at Walvis Bay for about nine years, took the silver award as the overall top salesperson.
He says vehicle financing in 2024 was challenging and encourages other sales executives to foster strong relationships and communication with their clients.
After receiving the award, he commented: “I am more motivated to excel and continue partnering Bank Windhoek to achieve more vehicle sales.”
Indongo Toyota Walvis Bay took the gold award of excellence for new vehicles followed by Steckels Toyota Swakopmund who landed the silver award.
Indongo Toyota Walvis Bay scooped another gold award of excellence for used vehicles, with Novel Ford Walvis Bay taking the silver.
According to IJG Research, new vehicle sales were off to a strong start with the year-to-date figure of 2 083 at the end of February, the highest for the first two months of the year since 2016.
“The 1.8% year-on-year growth in 12-month cumulative new vehicle sales to 12 885 indicates a marginal upward trend, which is likely to be further supported by the current low-interest rate environment,” says the researchers.
