Job description

Leeds, United Kingdom | Posted on 08/09/2026

We are looking for a Corporate Administrator to join our team in Leeds.

About the 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’ll expect you to work hard but in return we’ll offer you 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.

About You

The right candidate will work alongside a thriving Corporate team, assisting with all aspects of the Operation administration. The candidate will run departmental reports, arrange logistics and book customers new vehicle deliveries. We’re looking for someone who takes a diligent approach to their work with a meticulous eye for detail. The right fit will be a real team player, taking on other administrative duties as and when needed to ensure the continued success of the Corporate team. We’re looking for someone with excellent communication skills, that can thrive in a fast-paced environment and adapt to new challenges.

You will be expected to process all relevant documentation from point of order to delivery; upholding processing accuracy whilst remaining mindful of data protection legislation. You will communicate with customers regarding stock availability, order processing, and updates on orders.

Whilst experience in a similar Automotive/Fleet administration role is advantageous, it is not a necessity as full training will be provided.

What do you need to be a successful Corporate Administrator?

Working within the Administration department, you will have excellent people skills, enthusiasm and motivational skills.

Experience in a franchised dealer environment preferred but not essential.

Strong administration skills plus Microsoft at an intermediate level, knowledge of Pinnacle would be desirable but not essential as well as outstanding organisational skills and great attention to detail

Duties will include:

• Produce vehicle invoices
• Bring vehicles into stock
• Produce purchase orders for external suppliers
• Produce the commission invoices
• Produce accruals on internal systems

What we offer

• World-class training provided internally and our brand partners
• 30 days annual leave inclusive of 8 bank holidays, increasing with length of service.
• Preferential rates for servicing and repairs on your family and friend’s cars.
• £25 contribution to glasses
• Cycle to work scheme
