The 2024 Bank Windhoek Vehicle Asset Finance Northern
Selekt Sales Awards ceremony, recently hosted in Oshakati, recognised the
passion of automotive salespeople and dealerships in Northern Namibia.
In 2024, Award recipients embraced challenges, adapted to
changing market dynamics, and introduced solutions to redefine financing and
vehicle asset management.
Delivering the keynote address at the event, Bank
Windhoek’s Regional Manager for the Far North, Elisse Mire Christof, said the
contributions of salespeople drive this sector’s success, making vehicle
ownership and fleet expansion possible for countless individuals and
businesses. “With your support, Bank Windhoek has shown stability, indicating
strong and consistent performance. Bank Windhoek has demonstrated its
dedication to supporting the motoring industry market in Northern Namibia,” she
said.
Christof announced that in 2024, Bank Windhoek financed
186 vehicles in the region, totalling approximately N$13 million. Additionally,
she said, “The Far North’s Vehicle Financing books grew by a whopping 111% on
its Year-On-Year growth in value. These numbers comprise 66% new vehicle sales
and 34% used vehicle sales compared to the previous Financial Year.”
She concluded that the landscape of vehicle asset
financing continues to evolve and that agility, innovation, and a commitment to
responsible funding that benefits customers and communities should remain a
priority.
The top salesperson in the northern region who was
awarded a Gold award was Indongo Toyota Ongwediva Sales Executive Nikanor
Shindombo. He said that after receiving this award in the previous year, it has
become a good habit to be a top achiever. “We enjoy the strong relationship
between Indongo Toyota Ongwediva and Bank Windhoek. Business is peaking in
Northern Namibia with positive results. We expect more business within the
automotive market, which looks very promising,” he said.
The top salesperson in the northern region who was
awarded a Bronze award was Pupkewitz Volkswagen North Sales Executive Peter
Naujoma. He said that although sales in 2024 were challenging to close, he met
his client’s needs. “With access to various branches in the North, Bank
Windhoek’s efforts to assist us have been superb for vehicle financing.”
