UDS Wins 7th Straight Diamond in 2019 DCAs
United Development Systems earned its seventh straight first-place Diamond award in the F&I Training category and a Gold award for Compliance training in the 15th annual Dealers’ Choice Awards.

CLEARWATER, Fla. — United Development Systems Inc. (div. Brown & Brown Dealer Services) has been named the Diamond award winner for F&I Training and Gold award winner for Compliance Training in the 2019 Dealers’ Choice Awards, presented by Auto Dealer Today.
UDS ranked among the industry’s top three providers in the F&I Training category for the 15th consecutive year.
“Quality training operations offered via concise and convenient channels is critical in today’s fast-paced marketplace,” said Randy Crisorio, president and CEO of UDS. “It is the formal and informal training that provides a solid foundation allowing for performance and profit growth to occur. This award brings a feeling of validation to our team that we are upholding promises made to our dealer partners.”
This is the fourth award for UDS in the Compliance Training category, which was added four years ago.
The awards program itself began in 2005 and allows dealers and dealership personnel across the U.S. to rate retail industry operatives of all kinds. UDS is one of very few companies to be recognized every year.
A special ceremony will be held at Industry Summit this November in New Orleans to recognize the winners.
