2025 DAF Dealer of the Year
We’re extremely proud to announce that Hallam & Bayswater Truck Centre has been named the 2025 DAF Dealer of the Year at the recent PACCAR Dealer of the Year Awards.
This achievement marks the third time our team has received this honour since the program began in 2002, and we’re honoured to once again be recognised as the leading DAF dealer across Australia.
When accepting the award, Matthew Keene, Hallam & Bayswater Truck Centre Group General Manager, acknowledged the dedication and passion that drives our team every day.
“I am thrilled to accept this award on behalf of our great team. We are extremely passionate about the brand with great salespeople who live and breathe DAF,” said Matthew.
“I would like to thank the entire team for their hard work and their commitment in delivering exceptional customer service and technical expertise, ensuring our customers continue to trust and service with us.”
“What I love about this award is that it’s a true team effort! Recognising the way we support our customers through the sales process, but importantly afterwards through service, parts and PacLease for a great customer experience. I couldn’t be prouder!”
On the night, Matthew was presented with the award by Michael Long, PACCAR Australia Director of Sales and Marketing, alongside Mike Dozier, Executive Vice President PACCAR Inc, and Damian Smethurst, Managing Director PACCAR Australia. During the presentation, Michael praised our dealership, noting, “Hallam & Bayswater Truck Centre continue to demonstrate a drive to deliver an excellent customer experience to our DAF customers.”
The DAF Dealer of the Year program recognises excellence across all areas of the business, including sales performance, customer relationships, facilities, parts and service, finance, market share and growth. Hallam & Bayswater Truck Centre continues to excel across each of these measures, thanks to the commitment of every department and the support of our valued customers and suppliers.
Hallam Truck Centre operates from a state‑of‑the‑art 3.2‑hectare site in Melbourne’s south‑east, offering complete transport solutions across Kenworth and DAF, including sales, servicing, parts, accessories and PacLease rental. Our sister dealership, Bayswater Truck Centre, provides dedicated parts and service support, complemented by TRP Pakenham and TRP Peninsula satellite branches.
In recent years, Hallam Truck Centre has expanded its operations further, supporting the Somerton and Ballarat regions by establishing Melbourne North Truck Centre.
We are incredibly grateful for the ongoing support of our customers, suppliers and our exceptional team. We look forward to building on this success and seeing what 2026 brings.
