• Understanding customer needs and matching them with the right vehicle and finance options
• Arranging and conducting test drives
• Building relationships that turn first‑time buyers into loyal, repeat customers

We’d love to hear from you if you:

• Have experience in retail, hospitality, leisure or customer‑facing sales
