The 2009 Harley-Davidson Motor Company announces Harley-Davidson Kuwait as Top Performing Dealership

Each year during the official Annual International Awards Ceremony, Harley-Davidson acknowledges dealerships across the world who consistently deliver an outstanding customer experience and high levels of service. The owners of Harley-Davidson Kuwait were one of the proud recipients of this prestigious award during last week’s event in Las Vegas, USA.

Stuart Farrell, Managing Director of Strategic Growth Markets & Dealer Development of Harley-Davidson Europe explains: “To win or even be considered as one of our top-performing dealerships, each dealership had to excel in the areas of sales performance, operational excellence and dealers standards. The winners have shown all of these qualities – and more. What they also show is a knowledge and dedication to the brand. Sometimes this depth of knowledge and passion belies the comparatively few years some of these dealerships may have been in operation. Behind all of our winners are dedicated staff that believe in delivering a great customer experience, ensuring that their customers receive the best service and advice to keep them coming back for more. I am pleased to announce that Harley-Davidson Kuwait received this prestigious award during our International Awards Ceremony last week in Las Vegas. ”

As one of the Operational Excellence Award Winners competing against 382 dealerships from the EMEA (Europe/Middle-East/Africa) region, Harley-Davidson Kuwait is justifiably proud of their achievement.

Harley-Davidson Kuwait began life as most dealerships do – small.

But now the Classic Motor Company – founded in 1999 by Hamad and Adel Alsumait – are market leaders and they feel proud of their Operational Excellence Award.

Harley-Davidson Motor Company produces heavyweight custom, cruiser and touring motorcycles and offers a complete line of Harley-Davidson motorcycle parts, accessories, riding gear and apparel, and general merchandise. For more information, visit Harley-Davidson's website at www.harley-davidson.com
