About Profile

This candidate is a highly accomplished Aftersales Manager with more than 20 years’ experience within the automotive industry across prestige, volume and multi-franchise dealership environments. Their background combines strong technical expertise with proven operational leadership, having progressed from technician level into senior aftersales management positions overseeing large workshop and service operations.

A major strength is leadership and performance improvement, with experience managing teams of more than 35 staff across service, workshop and aftersales departments. They have consistently delivered measurable improvements in profitability, efficiency and customer satisfaction while maintaining strong operational control within busy dealership environments.

Commercially focused and highly organised, they are experienced managing labour sales, workshop productivity, warranty operations, service plans and customer retention strategies. Their track record includes delivering substantial profit growth, improving NPS and CSI performance and implementing operational processes that enhanced both customer experience and workshop efficiency.

Before progressing into management, they spent 12 years working as a technician, giving them strong technical understanding and credibility when leading workshop teams. They are also highly experienced in coaching and developing staff, supported by formal teaching and mentoring qualifications.

Their career includes extensive exposure across a wide range of manufacturer and prestige environments, including both passenger car and specialist vehicle operations.
