This candidate is an experienced automotive Parts Advisor with over six years working within commercial vehicle and dealership parts departments. Their background includes busy workshop support, trade parts supply and customer-facing parts operations, giving them strong all-round experience within fast-paced automotive environments.

Currently working within a supervisory position, they are now keen to return fully into a hands-on vehicle parts role where they can focus on the area of the industry they enjoy most.
