About the Business<\/span><\/span><\/u>
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

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 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.<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Our recruitment philosophy is that we recruit for attitude and train for skills, which means that although we\u2019re often looking for specific technical skills, if you are attracted by our Family Values of Fit, Fun, Family and Fearless, you\u2019ll fit in well here and we\u2019d like to hear from you!<\/span><\/span>
