EITM GLOBAL GARAGE EQUIPMENT PROVIDER 2002 & ITM LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

Das Exekutivkomitee des EITM Institutes betreibt seit vielen Jahren umfangreiche Leitforschung auf dem Gebiet des Automotive Aftermarket, deren jährlicher Höhepunkt die Preisvergabe für hervorragende Leistung ist.

Dieses Jahr, als Teil des silbernen Jubiläums des Institutes, entschied das Komitee jene Firmen zu prüfen, welche hervorragende Produkte und Leistungen für den Globalen Automotive Aftermarket erschaffen.

Als Teil der Beissbarth Automotive Group München wurde Beissbarth UK Ltd., Geschäftführer Philip Hodges, für den größten Beitrag bei der Weiterentwicklung des Automotive Aftermarket ausgezeichnet. Unabhängige Nachforschungen ergaben, daß Beissbarth Werkstattausrüstungen in bester Qualität, in einer breiten Produkt Palette, excellenter Technik, und, allem voran mit bestem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis liefert.

Die entscheidenden Kriterien für die Vergabe des Awards waren:

• Kundendienst
• Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis
• Innovation
• Investition in Technologie

Die offizielle Verleihung des Awards war für die Reifenmesse in Essen geplant. Ein Fluglotsen-Streik in Irland verhinderte jedoch leider die Anreise des Überbringers Patrick Sheedy vom Transport Journal.

Über den Termin der offiziellen Preis-Verleihung, die vorraussichtlich in London stattfinden wird, werden wir Sie informieren.

Beissbarth UK’s Managing Director, Philip Hodges, erhielt den Lifetime Achievement Award des Institute of Transport Management (ITM) für sein Lebenswerk.

“In einer 30 Jahre überspannenden Karriere wurde ich Zeuge der gewaltigen Veränderung in unserer Industrie und den erormen Fortschritten in der Technologie. In vielen Fällen hatte ich das Privileg an dieser Entwicklung mitwirken zu dürfen.
Jedoch hat mich nichts auf diesen besonderen Moment meiner Karriere vorbereitet, mit dem ITM Lifetime Achievement Award ausgezeichnet zu werden. Es ist wirklich eine große Ehre." sagte Philip Hodges anläßlich der Verleihung.

The Executive Committee of the Institute has been conducting extensive research into the automotive aftermarket for many years, culminating annually with its Awards of Excellence. This year, as part of the Institutes Silver Jubilee , the committee decided to examine those companies who provide outstanding products and services to the Global Aftermarket.
