• Enthusiastic, proactive, and focused on customer satisfaction.

What we can offer:

• Store discount, with 25% off most products across Halfords and Tredz
• Employee discount, with up to 50% off your garage bills at Halfords Autocentre
• Discount on Halfords Breakdown Cover, with bike cover as standard for all annual policies
• Discounts on everything from groceries and shopping through to holidays, insurance, days out, restaurants and more
