I've been for MOTORS for over seven years and have grown and developed alongside the business, starting as a Sales Account Manager and progressing to Head of Account management today. It's a fun, collaborative, and supportive environment, that recognises and rewards hard work. The business has ambitious plans to continue its success and I'm excited to be part of it.
