HIGH POINT, N.C. — Thomas Built Buses recently recognized its top-performing dealers of 2018 at the school bus OEM’s President’s Club awards gala.

Thomas Built’s 2018 Dealer of the Year award was presented to Matthews Bus Alliance Inc., a full-service dealer offering sales, parts, and vehicle service in Orlando, Florida.  

“Thomas Built Buses once again ended 2018 as the market leader in the industry, and much of that success is due to our outstanding dealer network,” said Caley Edgerly, president and CEO of Thomas Built Buses. “While all of our dealers provide exceptional customer service, support, and training to their customers, our President’s Club dealers truly went above and beyond. To our dealer of year, Matthews Bus Alliance, we offer special congratulations for a job well done.”
