This is a fabulous opportunity to join a family-run business in the AM top 50.
We are looking for ambitious and driven individuals who are passionate about providing world-class customer service. This role comes with a basic salary of £20,000.00 p.a. plus uncapped commission from Service and MOT bookings as well as product sales including service plans.
About Us
Our business started over 60 years ago and has been in the same family ever since. From our very humble beginnings, we have grown to be in the top 50 car dealers in the country. Across our 21 businesses, we have a stable workforce of over 600 people, many of whom have been with us for years. We are always on the lookout for nice, genuine people who care about our customers and have a can-do attitude.
Our recruitment philosophy is that we recruit for attitude and train for skills, which means that although we’re often looking for specific technical skills, if you like working with customers and are attracted by our Family Values of Fit, Fun, Family, and Fearless, you’ll fit in well here and we’d like to hear from you even if you have no experience in the automotive industry. We offer manufacturer training for product knowledge to give you the technical skills you need, and we work with our own world-class sales trainer who will give you everything you need to be a “top one percenter.”
We expect you to work hard, but in return, we offer you an industry-leading package, flexible working hours, and a real opportunity to progress: we prefer to promote from within and you will see this in every one of our sites. You must possess an outrageous ambition to want to be the best and you won’t let anyone stop you.
