Mandurah Ford dealer Lane Ford is supporting the in-house productions at Mandurah Performing Arts Centre with a new Falcon XR6 utility. The in-house productions are one of the ways in which the centre involves the community in its program.

Hundreds of people take part in the four big productions each year, both on and off stage.

The utility will enable the production team to travel to Perth and other areas to look at sets, props and costumes and collect such items.

"The support of local business ensures that the arts in the Peel region continue to grow," centre manager Beth Harvey said.

The National Metropolitan Dealer of the Year award went to Peter Adams of Q Ford in Springwood, Queensland, while Colin Lane of Lane Ford in Mandurah, Western Australia won National Rural Dealer of the Year.

"The Ford Dealer of the Year awards are highly sought after and keenly contested by our entire dealer network," Ford Australia Vice President Marketing and Sales, Bruce McDonald said.

"With 228 Ford dealers nationally, to receive one of only ten Ford Dealer of the Year awards is recognition within our company of meeting the highest standard of sales and customer service."
