During the awards banquet that took place at Country Clipper's 2009 distributor meeting in August, Dorian Drake was honored with the "Outstanding Achievement Award". Aprille Browne, Dorian Drake's Asia/Pacific sales manager, was honored at the meeting for her outstanding sales achievements in Australia and New Zealand. Aprille was recognized for developing new distribution for Country Clipper's line of zero-turning radius mowers in Australia & New Zealand which equated to close to a 10% market share in both countries the first year. Dorian Drake is now working with Country Clipper to establish a presence in Latin America and South Africa as well."
