2 weeks ago


Leeds, United Kingdom D. M. Keith Full time

We are currently looking for an experienced personal assistant who will work on behalf of the Managing Director. This role will involve a plethora of different responsibilities, with a strong sense of independent, self-motivated working. You will work and communicate with a large variety of staff; from sales executives to the Board of directors, prioritising the needs of the Managing Director.

**About the business**

Our business started over 60 years ago and has been in the same family ever since. From our very humble beginnings, we have grown to be in the top 100 car dealers in the country, with an ambition to be in the top 50 very soon. Across our 16 businesses we have a stable workforce of over 400 people, many of whom have been with us for years. We are always on the lookout for nice, genuine people who genuinely care about our customers and have a can do attitude.

Our recruitment philosophy is that we recruit for attitude and train for skills, which means that although we’re often looking for specific technical skills, if you like working with customers and you are attracted by our Family Values of Fit, Fun, Family and Fearless, you’ll fit in well here and we’d like to hear from you.

We offer manufacture training for product knowledge to give you the technical skills you need, and we work with our own world class sales trainer who will give you everything you need to be a “top one percenter”.

We’ll expect you to work hard but in return we’ll offer you an industry leading package, flexible working hours and a real opportunity to progress: we prefer to promote from within and you will see this in everyone of our sites. You must possess an outrageous ambition to want to be the best and you won’t let anyone stop you.
