CLEARWATER, Fla. – United Development Systems, Inc. (UDS) has been named the 2014 Dealers’ Choice Diamond Award Winner for F&I Training as awarded by Auto Dealer Monthly.
For the tenth consecutive year UDS has been ranked in the F&I Training category, while placing 1st in nine out of ten years surveyed. “Ten short years ago, in the inaugural Dealers’ Choice Awards, we were fortunate to have been named the Diamond Award winner as the top F&I Training Company in the nation. To now be honored with our 10th consecutive award is extremely gratifying,” says Randy Crisorio, UDS President and CEO. “While consistent and quality F&I Training has always been the cornerstone of our F&I Performance operation, I never sought, or expected, this type of national recognition. It is the dedication and commitment of the UDS Team that deserves all of the credit and our clients who value so highly our efforts that we give thanks and appreciation. Without each, this simply is not possible,” adds Crisorio.
