We are looking for an ambitious and driven individual to join our team as Business Development Manager. The successful candidate will be predominantly based out of our York site whilst also covering Hull sites, overseeing our Skoda, Seat, Cupra and BYD brands.

This is a fabulous opportunity to join a family run business in the AM top 50 and represent one of our fantastic manufacturer partners.

Our business started over 60 years ago and has been in the same family ever since. From our very humble beginnings, we have grown to be in the top AM 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 nice, genuine people who genuinely care about our customers and have a can-do attitude.

Our recruitment philosophy is that we recruit for attitude and train for skills, which means that although we’re often looking for specific technical skills, if you like working with customers and you are attracted by our Family Values of Fit, Fun, Family and Fearless, you’ll fit in well here and we’d like to hear from you.
We’ll expect you to work hard but in return we’ll offer you an industry leading package, flexible working hours and a real opportunity to progress: we prefer to promote from within and you will see this in every one of our sites. You must possess an outrageous ambition to want to be the best and you won’t let anyone stop you.

You must have a proven track record within B2B field sales and you could have already sold into the fleet or dealership sector.
