Hyosung Australia’s new National Sales Manager, Brendon Roberts was in the right spot at the right time. 2008 AFL Grand Final winners Hawthorn visited sponsor Tasmania a couple of days after their win to thank Tasmanians for their support. On a trip to visit Hyosung dealers in Launceston and Hobart, Brendon shared a flight with the victors and snagged an opportunity to hold the AFL Premiership Cup. “The Hawthorn boys were in good spirits and when I congratulated Alastair Clarkson (Coach) he handed me the cup for a photo op”, said Brendon. “They were very relaxed and simply enjoying the fruits of their efforts. It was great to hold a part of AFL history even if only for a minute”.
September held similar good news for Hyosung Motorcycles as their sales for the year surpassed those for the same period last year. “We started this year off slowly compared to our boomer year in 2007 for a number of reasons but economic conditions have allowed us to get more aggressive on pricing and this has paid off”, said Brand Manager Simon Gloyne. He added “The turn around started in June and continued. To overtake last year in such a tough market is a testament to our excellent value for money position as more commuters turn to motorcycles”.
