About our business
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 26 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 genuinely 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 you 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 of the
automotive industry.
We offer manufacture 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’ll expect you to work hard but in return we’ll 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.
