Master Technician

Simon joined us as a Technician from a Ford dealership and worked his way up the ranks to a Level 4 Master Technician. He is quite often the “go-to” person for other colleagues in the workshop for diagnostic issues as his knowledge is second to none.

He is one of only 2 Technician’s to work through the initial lockdown period back in 2020, keeping vehicles safely on the road for keyworkers etc. as our site was one of few dealers in the UK to offer this service.

Keep up the good work Simon!

Congratulations to Martin on completing 20 Years Service being our first point of contact for our Service Department.

For many years Martin held this key role single-handedly and built up a loyal customer base. Over time Martin has also taken on various additional duties including bodywork and repairs which can be very time consuming.

Martin has quite often gone to see customers out of hours to either return or collect vehicles and will often be found replying to service enquiries in the evening and over the weekend, Martin really does go above and beyond!
