A Legacy of Excellence: Story Behind The Diamond Ring

A Legacy of Excellence: Story Behind The Diamond Ring

North Vancouver, BC — October 2026 — Some achievements stay with you long after the moment has passed. At Capilano Volkswagen, a diamond ring represents one such achievement and a connection between two generations of sales leadership.

In 2007, Derek Lau, General Manager of Capilano Volkswagen, earned a place among Volkswagen Sales Guild’s Top 10 sales performers in Canada. The recognition was commemorated with a diamond ring, marking an important milestone in his career with Volkswagen.

Nearly 20 years later, the ring has taken on a new chapter. Derek recently passed it on to Essiano Majidi, who has stepped into the role of General Sales Manager at Capilano Volkswagen last month.

Essiano brings his own impressive record of achievement to the position and established numerous sales records throughout the dealership’s history. His promotion marks the next stage in his career and a new chapter for the Sales Department.

The passing of the ring connects these two milestones: Derek’s achievement as a Volkswagen sales performer and Essiano’s continued success as he takes on greater leadership responsibilities.

Beyond the diamond itself, the ring serves as a reminder of the dedication, ambition, and hard work behind a successful sales career. It also represents the people and experiences that shape a dealership over time, as achievements are built upon and new leaders emerge.

As Essiano takes on his new role, the story behind the ring continues — connecting a milestone from 2007 with the next chapter of Capilano Volkswagen’s history.

One achievement remembered. A new chapter begins. The legacy continues.
