Frank Michaux, MD of SPAX commented: “We are very pleased to have presented this award to A1. A Dealer of the Year award is not easy to obtain and SPAX spends considerable time and effort before deciding upon them. This award recognises all the hard work, professionalism and focus that A1 have shown during a year that has been hard to get sales. We are confident that A1 will continue to shine as a leading SPAX reseller and we shall be supporting A1 throughout 2012 with some exciting new sales initiatives”
