Hello Craig, tell us a bit about yourself!  


"I have worked in motor trade for 20 years and have recently returned to Lloyd Motor Group after 9 months working for a finance lender. I am a huge football fan and find myself on the golf course on most days off, I have also just got married in Ibiza recently and recently back from an unbelievable honeymoon in Dubai!"

Can you tell us about your career journey with us, from where you started to how you got to where you are today?


"I first started my career in 2005 in Dumfries as a trainee salesman... knowing nothing at all about cars! I soon worked up to Business Manager before ultimately moving in with my future wife which caused me to relocate my work to Carlisle. When I moved, I joined the LLoyd Used Car Centre team when it opened back 2016."

Can you talk us through a typical day in your new role as a Sales Executive?  


"We have a good upbeat meeting in the morning to prioritise our day and know what we have to achieve today, but the motor trade theres never a day that goes the same, we are all about customer experience so as soon as there is a customer on pitch, or internet lead we stop what we are doing and focus on the customer and really making us be different from any other site that may have visited during their new car search, making sure my customers find the right car for them in a smooth and professional manner always putting the customer first while going over and above so they leave our site feeling like they have had the best service they could get!"

What do you think is the most important quality for success as a Sales Executive?  


"Being genuine and being yourself! People buy from people and I love building relationships with all my customers. When they come back to see me when they are looking to change their car, I know I have done my job."

What’s your favourite thing about working at Lloyd Used Car Centre?


"The people. The culture and being part of a successful team."

What advice would you give to someone who’s just starting out in their career in the motor trade?  


"Go for it! If you are a people person, you will love this job. No day is ever the same and every customer is different and needs a different approach."

What’s one thing you’ve always wanted to try but haven’t yet?  

"Sky diving - it's on the list in the future."

If you had to pick one fact about yourself that most people don’t know, what would it be?  

"Oohh I think everyone knows about the world record texting so I am going to go for my quiz show win on ITV back in 2008 where I won top prize £27,000."
