Matthew Waters

Customer Service Advisor

Award Nominee,

We would like to nominate Matt Waters for Employee of the Month in January for stepping up and offering to help out our Aftersales Team when a colleague was unexpectedly out of the business, and the department needed some additional support.

Despite living quite a distance away from the Dealership and already having a demanding workload of his own as a Service Advisor, Matt voluntarily came to the rescue by helping to ensure that all our customers’ vehicles were safely returned to them every evening. This resulted in Matt staying behind late most nights to helping to drive vehicles back to customer’s home/office addresses and regularly doing the same during his lunch hours. He never left for home unless he knew everyone in the Service Team had the help they required and no customers were left without their vehicles!

Matt particularly stood out during this difficult period, all his extra hard work was greatly appreciated by the whole team.

Great job Matt, thank you for going that extra mile!

Louise Lawson Hatch

Divisional HR Administrator

Award Nominee,

Louise was out at the weekend and stopped to assist an elderly lady that had fallen over near the roadside and was clearly wounded & distressed. Fortunately a first aider was there but Louise used her initiative and got a blanket out of her car to keep her warm and drove home to get the elderly lady a sleeping bag to help comfort her further. This to me goes above & beyond.

Peter Hyman

Sales Executive

Award Nominee,

After being with the business for only 4 days Peter’s first enquiry was a lady who had just moved to the UK from France and once Peter found out that the customer was in fact French he spoke with her in French over the phone and by email, also the video he sent of the vehicle she was interested in buying, greeted her in French.

Peter actually speaks/understands 20 + languages!

The customer was blown away by this and rather than dealing with her local dealer she decided to buy direct from Peter and was delighted with the service and attentiveness provided by him.

Well done for making an exceptional impression and delighting the customer!

Hannah Sully

Apprentice Technician

Award Winner,

Hannah became aware of an issue a customer was having with the infotainment along with some quality aspects on his vehicle.  She was involved in the repair process of the vehicle and worked alongside the Level 3 Technician to get the car fixed.
Hannah took it upon herself to make CITNOW’s of the vehicle’s repair journey to demonstrate what had been done and how this would now positively impact the customer’s journey with the car.
The customer has since been on Twitter to comment how extremely happy he was with the CITNOW and went away very happy.

Tom was nominated for January’s Making It Special by his GSM and Business Manager for smashing January sales target, but more so that he worked extra days without complaint, remained positive throughout and his customer questionnaires were excellent.
