2016 GM CUSTOMER OF THE YEAR AWARD

For Immediate Release

 

General Motors Honors Gallagher-Kaiser Corporation as

First Winner of the GM Customer of the Year Award

 

TROY, APRIL 17, 2017 – Gallagher-Kaiser (GK) was named the first winner of the 2016 General Motor’s Customer of the Year Award at the 25th annual Supplier of the Year awards ceremony held Friday, March 31 in Orlando, Florida.

 GM’s new Customer of the Year Award recognizes Gallagher-Kaiser for purchasing the most vehicles during the 2016 GM Supplier Discount Holiday Bonus Program. Joined by automotive suppliers from 15 different countries, GK was the first and only winner of this award.   

One GK employee was especially thankful for the opportunity provided by General Motors. When Jessica Caskey became a new mom, she knew she needed a vehicle she could count on. She took advantage of the discount provided by GM and the extra $1,000 incentive that GK CEO, Bob Kaiser contributed to each employee who purchased or leased a GM vehicle.

“It was a no-brainer to get the Equinox,” said Caskey. “With the supplier discount, Mr. Kaiser’s added incentive, and a new baby, I knew it was the right time to invest in a safer vehicle.”

Since 2013, Bob Kaiser has provided the extra $1,000 incentive, alongside the GM discount, totaling nearly $6 million in GM vehicles sales by the GK team.

 “We are honored to be the first recipient of the new General Motor’s Customer of the Year Award. Thisachievement is evidence of the true partnership between our teams,” said Bob Kaiser. “Thank you, General Motors, for the incentive program and thank you to the GK team who made our parking lot resemble a GM show room! I hope this award inspires the automotive community and continues to showcase what we can achieve together.”
