Know the motor trade? Good with people? Ready for something different?

We're a fully independent, family-owned motor factor. We believe in real people, genuine relationships and looking after our customers and our team. You're not just a number on a spreadsheet here!

We're looking for an experienced motor trade professional for a varied, hands-on role combining branch support, telephone parts sales and business development.

Based at our Weston-super-Mare branch, you'll travel between our four branches, supporting branch teams, helping operations run smoothly and developing new business. A company van is provided for business travel.

• Supporting branch managers and teams across our branch network.
• Taking telephone parts enquiries, identifying the correct parts and processing orders.
• Making outbound calls to win new customers and grow existing accounts.
• Building relationships with local garages, workshops and other motor trade customers.
• Supporting day-to-day branch operations and providing cover where needed.
• Identifying opportunities to increase sales and improve customer service.

Who are we looking for?

• Confident on the telephone, including outbound sales calls.
• Commercially minded, proactive and keen to develop new business.
• Good communication and people skills.
• Flexible, organised and happy to work across different branches.

You could be an experienced Parts Advisor ready for the next step, an Assistant Branch Manager, or someone with motor factor sales and business development experience.

We're looking for someone who knows the trade, enjoys working with people and wants to help an independent family business grow.

Full-time, permanent position. Monday to Friday, no weekends. Salary negotiable depending on experience. Three-month probationary period.
