Harley-Davidson, the world famous motorcycle maker, has presented a Sussex dealership with a prestigious in-house award.

Shaw Harley-Davidson, based at Holmes Hill, near Lewes, will receive the Bar and Shield Award from company executives in the US for its customer care and sales and marketing campaigns.

One of the events to catch the company's attention was the Eastbourne Winter Garden Show, held in January, which attracted hundreds of visitors.

The dealership, which has been open for 18 months is Sussex's only authorised Harley outlet.

Managing director David Cole said: "This is a fantastic result for the entire team."
