About Profile

This candidate is a highly experienced automotive professional with an extensive background in used vehicle purchasing, stock management and dealership leadership. Having operated at Group Used Car Buyer, General Manager and senior management level within franchised dealer groups, they bring a wealth of commercial expertise and a proven ability to drive profitability through effective stock acquisition and management strategies.

Their career has centred around building profitable used vehicle operations through careful stock profiling, market analysis and strategic purchasing. They have managed vehicle buying functions across multiple dealership sites simultaneously, ensuring the correct stock mix is maintained to support retail demand, maximise stock turn and improve overall dealership performance.

A key strength is their in-depth understanding of the used vehicle market. They have significant experience sourcing stock from private customers, auctions, leasing companies, dealer groups and established trade contacts, enabling them to secure desirable stock while maintaining strong margins. Their analytical approach allows them to react quickly to market conditions and make informed purchasing decisions that support both sales volume and profitability.

Throughout their career, they have consistently implemented initiatives that have improved stock turn, reduced ageing stock and increased departmental profitability. They are highly experienced working alongside Sales Managers, General Managers and senior leadership teams, providing detailed market insight and stock recommendations to support wider business objectives.

In addition to vehicle buying expertise, they bring valuable dealership leadership experience, including responsibility for business performance, profitability and team development. This broader understanding of automotive retail operations enables them to take a commercially focused approach that balances stock acquisition with operational and financial performance.

Available immediately, they are now seeking a Vehicle Buyer opportunity where they can utilise their extensive industry experience, market knowledge and purchasing expertise to help drive sales performance and profitability.
