Gala dinner marks our Golden Anniversary.
A gala dinner at the Crown Perth was the occasion to mark the 50th anniversary of Major Motors.
The ‘year for gold’ – was actually in 2021.
But with Covid risks last year – and it takes time to organise these things, the celebration was finally held with a mix of customers, suppliers and staff to number nearly 300 people participating in our ‘big bash’.
The event featured several guest speakers and entertainment from the band, ‘Proof’ and comedian, Mick Colliss whose claim to fame is that he picked himself and three mates to form the first ever Australian Sudoku team to compete at the World Sudoku Championships.
The gala dinner marked our foundation when Major Motors was formed in 1971 to be the commercial vehicle arm of Attwood Motors.
In those days we handled Chevrolets and Bedfords at Fremantle and Belmont before focusing on Isuzu in the 1980s.
The Isuzu Ute franchise was acquired in 2010 – based at the O’Connor branch which in 2016 relocated to Bibra Lake.
Further to these moves, Major Motors added the Malaga branch in 1999 and Port Hedland in 2009. The Port Hedland branch also handles the sales and service of Ram vehicles.
The evening featured speeches from our long serving Sales Manager, Frank Johnston and Managing Director, Bob Pearce.
Guests from Isuzu Australia included Takeo Shindo (Managing Director and CEO) and Andrew Harbison (Director and COO).
Everyone was given a bag of goodies that included the 50 Years of Major Motors coffee table book and a 50th anniversary bottle of wine.
