A TRUCK dealer has beaten off competition from across the country to win an award. JDS Trucks, of Blackburn, came runner-up in the Dealer of the Year contest organised by trade magazine Motor Transport. The awards were presented at the Royal Albert Hall in London and entries were judged on customer service and business success. "This is the one award that every truck dealer in the country wants to win," said managing director Wayne Edwards. Being runner up is a tremendous tribute to our team and it also the first time that a Renault dealer has received such recognition." The firm employs 52 people with an annual turnover of almost £15m.
