Pendragon PLC is where i started my career.

I started with Pendragon as a sales executive for the SAAB division and within 3 years i earned the position of Sales manager and ran a team of 5 executives. unfortunately SAAB as a brand ended and Pendargon sought to retain me after a bout of redundancies and moved me to Stratstone Honda in Bedford. In my time at Honda Bedford i carried out a number of roles eventually achieving a Dealer principle position. Many of the skills above started to develop with Pendragon. I was also successful enough to earn the the right to be coached though Bluechip coaching for the leaders.

Career highlights with Pendragon

• Top Gun Sales Award.
• Dealer Principal position Honda.
• Sales Manager at SAAB
