A Proud Night for Ebbett Automotive at the Jaguar Land Rover Awards

It was a standout night for Ebbett Automotive at the 2026 Jaguar Land Rover New Zealand Retailer Awards, with Duncan & Ebbett Hamilton taking home the prestigious Supreme Retailer of the Year title.

Alongside this top honour, the team also received Sales Team of the Year and Experiential Team of the Year, recognising a standout year across performance, customer engagement, and team delivery.

Held at Shed 10 in Auckland on Saturday, 2 May, the awards celebrate the very best across the Jaguar Land Rover network. For our Jaguar Land Rover Hamilton team, it marks a significant achievement and a reflection of the work that goes in every day behind the scenes.

Dealer Principal Martin Westall shared how much the recognition means to the team.

“This is something the whole team has worked incredibly hard towards. We believe in what we do here in Hamilton and in the Waikato, and to see that recognised across multiple areas of the business is something we are very proud of.”

Ebbett Managing Director Walter van den Engel, who attended the event, reflected on what the result represents for the wider group.

“This is a proud moment for our business. What sits behind it is a team that shows genuine care for its customers and holds itself to a high standard every day. When you have that foundation, strong results follow, but more importantly, so do lasting relationships.”

We also saw a strong showing from Ebbett Prestige Tauranga, who were named finalists across multiple categories, a great reflection of the depth of talent and performance across our Ebbett network.

Moments like this are a reminder of what can be achieved when great people, a strong culture, and a shared focus on the customer come together.
