• Determine the purpose of each visit and guide customers promptly to the appropriate service area or department.
• Check scheduled appointments and connect customers with their assigned Service Advisor for an efficient service handover.
• Manage customer flow through the reception area, particularly during busy service periods.
• Provide appropriate reception support when Service Advisors are unavailable so the customer journey continues without unnecessary disruption.
• Maintain a courteous, attentive approach throughout customer interactions and acknowledge customers appropriately when they leave.
• Support the achievement of customer satisfaction targets through consistent reception and communication standards.
• Listen carefully to customer concerns and identify situations requiring immediate attention or escalation.
• Report complaints promptly to the Reception Manager and provide accurate information to support effective resolution.
• Follow up appropriately on reception-related concerns to help ensure customer issues are addressed completely.
• Answer incoming telephone calls professionally and route inquiries to the relevant team when necessary.
• Coordinate appointment scheduling with the Customer Engagement Contact Centre.
• Maintain accurate appointment information and support orderly daily reception planning.
• Provide customers with clear guidance regarding the next stage of their aftersales visit.
• Communicate relevant customer requirements accurately to Service Advisors and other operational teams.
• Use customer service and appointment scheduling systems to record and manage interactions.
• Help maintain a professional, organized, and welcoming reception environment.
• Observe reception and customer-facing areas for conditions that could create health or safety concerns.
• Report health and safety issues promptly when they could affect customers, visitors, or employees.
• Work collaboratively with Service Advisors, reception colleagues, and customer engagement teams to improve service continuity.

The position suits someone who communicates confidently with customers from varied backgrounds and can remain organized when handling simultaneous arrivals, appointments, telephone inquiries, and service requests. Strong planning and reception coordination skills are important, along with the ability to recognize customer dissatisfaction and elevate concerns appropriately.
