  Davie Motors Holden

  Oct 2013 - Dec 2017

  New Vehicle Retail/Fleet Sales

  Davie Motors (a trading division of Auckland Auto Collections Limited) and part of AHG - Automotive Holdings Group.Great team, great managers, great facilities and great environment. Loved every minute.I pretty much built on my existing career with the Holden brand, establishing myself as a valued and respected part of the team. Contributing to the Dealership being firmly positioned at or close to the top performing Dealership for the Holden brand in NZ.I concentrated on both a Retail selling focus (no two days the same) aa well as maintaining and building a solid Fleet portfolio (a much more structured focus) To succeed in both markets simultaneously is not an easy task to do. But I can say I did, whilst making long time friendships with some great people - within the close-knit team and with external relationships with industry service providers - something I will always value. Thanks to all who placed their trust to do business with me Show less

  Sept 2017 - Jun 2018

  Fleet Maintenance Manager

  Accepted the role of fleet mechanic carrying out routine maintenance, light mechanical repairs and minor panel/paint repair.With a fleet of over 200 vehicles owned and operated by my landlord the opportunity arose when they realised I was a qualified mechanic (despite laying down the tools quite some time ago)I accepted based on the location (next door to my residence) flexible hours and seasonal nature of the business. The job description of “basic servicing” quickly evolved into a wide range of Automotive repairs that despite having to work in with a full time role elsewhere and the demands of providing a timely service I surprised myself and thoroughly enjoyed my time carrying out this role. The position wound down at the end of a busy season in time for me to begin the task of preparing myself for the move back to Taranaki Show less

  Penske Automotive Group

  Jan 2018 - Mar 2018

  Sales Consultant

  Spent such a short time with this impressive company that I considered leaving this off my resume.Until I realised that without this brief opportunity I would not have discovered the true power of the LinkedIn platform and services available to members.I was initially approached via LinkedIn and invited to apply for this position. Unfortunately I experienced a couple of life changing events shortly after commencing the role and it was amicably agreed that we go our separate ways. I was thoroughly impressed with the culture, enthusiastic about the opportunity presented to me and excited about a future within this industry and Company. Sadly I found myself unable to equip myself mentally and physically for what was required of me. Lets call it bad timing. No regrets and grateful for the opportunity. Show less
