Summary

I am a detail-oriented target driven professional, For the past sixteen years I have run my own motor trade business buying and selling commercial vehicles with the past year selling used cars, buying from main dealers preparing for sale to retail customers and to local businesses, with an additional five years experience within a dealership, two years selling new commercial vehicles and three years experience selling new cars.
