• Provide clear leadership to ensure alignment and consistency across the entire site
• Drive growth across Aftersales, Used Vehicle and Commercial sales channels
• Enhance customer satisfaction and support strong CSI performance

• Ability to coach, support and unify teams to achieve shared goals
• Commercially astute with a history of delivering measurable results

Why This Role Stands Out

This position offers the chance to take ownership of a key site in the network, influence its future direction and build a strong, high-performing culture. If you are a confident, people-focused General Manager who thrives in a dynamic environment, this opportunity offers real scope to make an impact.
