Brown and Hurley Kenworth DAF Caboolture has been awarded the prestigious Kenworth Dealer of the Year award for 2022, marking the first time the dealership has received the accolade.
Presented at PACCAR’s annual dealer event, the Caboolture dealership was announced as the victor among PACCAR’s 93 locations across Australia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea.
In addition to the Kenworth Dealer of the Year award, the Caboolture dealership was also named Cummins Dealer of the Year for 2022.

The highly sought-after Kenworth Dealer of the Year award recognizes the dealership with the highest ranking across five main areas: customer service, truck sales, finance and leasing, parts support, and overall dealership performance. PACCAR Australia’s Managing Director, Andrew Hadjikakou, applauded the Caboolture dealership for their outstanding performance and unwavering commitment to customers.

According to Hadjikakou, “Customers continue to expect more from dealers, and Brown and Hurley Kenworth DAF Caboolture have not only excelled in meeting these expectations but have also gone above and beyond in providing the highest standards of customer service and professionalism.”

The Caboolture dealership's continued investment in its people and facilities is exemplary, offering customers the latest products and services and industry know-how. The dealer's commitment to providing the highest quality of service and professionalism has earned them the reputation of a leading PACCAR dealer, setting an excellent example for the industry.

Newly appointed Caboolture Dealer Principal, Dylan Hurley, humbly accepted the award and dedicated it to outgoing Dealer Principal, Darryl Evans, thanking him for his leadership and overall contribution towards the success of the dealership. Hurley stated that "It is with great pride that I accept this award, and we are especially honored to be recognized as the top-performing dealer by Australia’s leading heavy-duty truck manufacturer."

Brown and Hurley have been the first dealer group to distribute Kenworth trucks in Australia since 1964, and the Caboolture dealership is their latest full-service dealership, opening its doors in 2015. Strategically located to service trucking routes north of Brisbane and the largest of the Brown and Hurley Group dealers, Caboolture provides another link in the chain for Brown and Hurley’s world-class dealerships.

With 75 years of experience, the Brown and Hurley Group is a wholly family-owned Australian company, employing 550 people across 13 locations throughout Queensland and northern New South Wales. Over the years, the group has built strong relationships with its customers and continues to provide the highest level of quality services and facilities.
