Thomas Built Buses Honors 2018 Top Dealers

HIGH POINT, N.C. — Thomas Built Buses has recognized the Dealers of the Year for 2018 at its annual Presidents Club awards gala earlier this month. The 2018 Dealer of the Year award was presented to Matthews Bus Alliance, Inc., a full-service dealer that provides sales, parts and vehicle service in Orlando, Florida.

“Thomas Built Buses once again ended 2018 as the market leader in the industry, and much of that success is due to our outstanding dealer network,” said Caley Edgerly, president and CEO of Thomas Built Buses. “While all of our dealers provide exceptional customer service, support and training to their customers, our President’s Club dealers truly went above and beyond. To our dealer of the year, Matthews Bus Alliance, we offer special congratulations for a job well done.”

Thomas Built Buses explained that the President’s Club and President’s Club Platinum awards are presented to top dealers, in recognition of achieving key performance indicators. A dealer must reach the President’s Club Platinum level to qualify as the Dealer of the Year for its region.
