TRICO MAKES IT A HAT-TRICK
OD A1 MOTOR STORES AWARDS
TRICO is delighted to announce
that its Exact Fit
wiper blade range scooped
the A1 Retail Product of the
Year award, revealed at the
buying group’s convention
and awards dinner ceremony
at the Crowne Plaza Newcastle
Stephenson Quarter.
It is the third year in-a-row
where the original equipment
manufacturer and
supplier has been honoured,
winning Retail Product of
the Year and Retail Supplier
of the Year in 2017 and 2018
respectively.
The accolades and recognition
from A1 Motor Stores
marks a hugely successful
relationship, spanning more
than a decade, and this latest
prize demonstrates that
the partnership between
both parties is as strong as
ever.
Senior Brand and Product
Manager, Sam Robinson,
along with TRICO UK
and Ireland Technical Sales
Representative, Andy Taylor,
joined fellow A1 Motor
Stores suppliers, as members
took the opportunity to
be brought up-to-date about
latest news and product updates,
while it was also the
perfect platform for Sam
and Andy to meet new members.
Sam said:
“Andy and I
thought the
show was
excellent;
we received
great feedback
from
members
about how
well TRICO
products are
working for them, while a
number of new, interested
members approached us
about converting to TRICO
following conversations
they’ve had with other members.”
On the award, a jubilant
Sam added: “To continue
our track record of awards
is both humbling and hugely
satisfying. A lot of hard work
goes into profiling members
with the appropriate ranges,
ensuring they have what they
need to service their customers
and maintaining strong
relationships.”
A1 Motor Stores Operations
Director, Simon Salloway,
said: “Working with one
of the aftermarket’s leading
suppliers is always a pleasure,
but when we continually
hear members praise
the quality of its product we
take notice.
“TRICO has worked tirelessly
with the A1 membership
to promote the product
and ensure members are
well placed to maximise every
sales opportunity. A1 continues
to grow as a group, in
both members and sales,
and this is only possible
with the support of our suppliers,
TRICO being singled
out as one of the best.”

clutch repair solution.

clutches into their transmission systems because of the
efficiency benefits they offer. Replacing them is more
complex than a standard clutch, but it’s not rocket science!
LuK engineers have designed a range of unique RepSets
for popular double clutch applications such as Volkswagen
Group, Ford, Renault and FIAT. Each kit contains all of the
components needed to carry out a professional 2CT repair.
Technical materials and training opportunities are also
available to forward thinking workshops.
