National award for Sezela’s Eileen Gengan – a hard working PR
She is the friendly interface between Suzuki and the media.
The cute and petite, almost cuddly Suzuki Jimny 5 Door 1.5 GLX 5MT is about adventure and style. No car has matched a PR as much as the Suzuki Jimny, which is sumptuously mated to Eileen Gengan, probably the hardest-working woman in motoring.
While she will be the first to tell you it’s not all her efforts, but that of the Suzuki team. Blame it on that modesty of the South Coast. She hails from Sezela, where the people are nice, and the waters on the beach are warm too.
Eileen is the friendly interface between Suzuki and the media. A sterling job she has done, with last year’s win as PR of the Year 2025 at the SA Car of the Year Awards, showing that on behalf of Suzuki, Eileen is leading the way when it comes to putting a positive spin on a vibrant, exciting brand.
That is among the reasons why Suzuki is the country’s second-best-selling brand, breaking the traditional Toyota/Volkswagen monopoly. Polo climbed back in December, but throughout the year, Suzuki has punched above its weight.
PR is often a thankless task, but the proof of the pudding is when the media acknowledges your work. Some of Eileen’s peers can certainly take a page out of her book, but winning such accolades is not for everyone.
