The award was presented at Toyota Material
Handling Australia’s (TMHA’s) annual sales
and service awards dinner held at Sydney’s
Sofitel Hotel on Friday June 15.
TMHA executive vice president and chief
operating officer Steve Takacs said it was
exciting to see the company’s top sales award
going to a female employee for the first time.
“As a Toyota Group company that prides
itself on offering equal opportunities to all its
employees we’re very proud to see Nicole
crowned as our first female sales champion,”
he said.
“Material handling by its nature is a
male-dominated industry but this award
demonstrates that there’s definitely a place for
women in our business too.”
The evening also included presentations for
the 2014 Branch of the Year awards.
TMHAAdelaide took out the 2014 Metropolitan
Branch of the Year award, a title it also won
in 2012. TMHA Newcastle was crowned 2014
Regional Branch of the Year.
The Branch Award for Best Sales Department
was won by TMHA Townsville, while TMHA’s
Melbourne Branch took the Best Rental
Department and Best Service Department
awards double.
“All our customers benefit from the best sales
and support service generated by the healthy
competition between our branches,” Mr Takacs
said.
“TMHA holds the number one sales position in
the material handling market, and events like
our annual awards presentation are a great
opportunity for us to reward and acknowledge
the efforts made by all our staff to be the best
of the best in our industry.”
“As a strong, viable company that is continuing
to show strong grow, we are proud to be able
to recognise and reward the dedication and
hard work of our branch staff at an awards
night such as this.”
The presentation evening was attended by
220 guests and hosted by TV personality
Kerri-Anne Kennerley.
After the awards guests enjoyed dinner,
dancing and played at a mock Toyota ‘casino’
for prizes won by a raffle. Money raised from
ticket sales went to the Save Our Sons charity
which raises funds to help find a cure for
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
Toyota Material Handling Australia’s Nicole Hill from the Adelaide branch has taken out the
2014 Sales Champion of the Year award – the first time a woman has won the title.
