About the Business

Our business started over 60 years ago and has been in the same family ever since. From 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 genuine people who care about our customers and have a can-do attitude.

Our recruitment philosophy is to recruit for attitude and train for skills. If you are attracted by our Family Values of Fit, Fun, Family, and Fearless, you’ll fit in well here.

What we offer

• A competitive salary and bonus package.
• £1000 Welcome bonus in the first month, plus another £1000 after 12 months.
• Referral bonus of £1000 on joining and after 12 months for both referrer and new employee.
• Retention scheme up to £10,000, increasing with service length.
• Long service rewards.
• Training and leadership development programs.
• Manufacturer product training.
• 30 days annual leave including bank holidays, increasing with service.
• Preferential service rates for family and friends.
