The Sewells-MSXI NADA 2018 Business of the Year Awards (BOTY) took place at a glittering function at the Kyalami Conference Centre in Midrand on 7 March, 2019.
Business owners, sponsors, dealer principles and NADA and RMI Executives attended the exclusive awards evening, which followed a day of high-impact presentations by world-class speakers at the NADA Dealer Performance Conference.
Now in its 24th year, the Sewells-MSXI NADA Business of the Year Awards is the only independent validation of dealership profitability.
