About Profile

This candidate is a highly experienced automotive Parts Manager and Parts Supervisor with more than 15 years working across main dealer, motor factor and automotive retail environments. Their background combines strong parts department leadership with excellent stock control, customer account management and workshop support experience within fast-paced automotive operations.

Currently working within the automotive parts sector, they are responsible for customer service, trade and retail parts supply, stock management and supplier coordination while supporting both workshop and online sales operations. Their experience includes handling trade enquiries, identifying and sourcing parts accurately, managing deliveries and ensuring customers receive an efficient and professional service.

A major strength is their extensive management and supervisory experience within dealership parts departments. They have successfully overseen customer accounts, managed stock levels, monitored department targets and implemented new processes to improve efficiency and productivity across busy automotive parts operations.

They are also highly experienced working closely with service departments and technicians to ensure parts availability for scheduled repairs, warranty work and manufacturer campaigns. Their technical understanding and strong knowledge of manufacturer systems, DMS platforms and EPC systems allow them to support both workshop operations and customer requirements effectively.

Professional, reliable and highly organised, they have built a stable career within the motor trade and pride themselves on delivering excellent customer service while maintaining strong commercial awareness and department profitability. Following recent redundancy, they are now looking for a long-term Parts Manager opportunity within a professional automotive business.
