PLYMOUTH RETAILER BOOSTS SENIOR MANAGEMENT

A Plymouth retailer has boosted its senior management and sales team to meet the growing needs of the business.

Murray Volkswagen Van Centre has appointed general manager, Matthew Stott, to lead the site in Plympton. He’s joined by Jason Matthews and Stefan May, who will form part of the sales team.

Matthew, from Plympton, has been with Murray for ten years and was promoted to the role after working as a sales executive, sales controller and operations manager for the Skoda site next door.

The 31-year-old said: “I am delighted to be taking on this new role. My aim is to continually develop the exceptional level of service that customers expect.

“Our new sales team is now in place to drive sales forward, making sure that customers are offered the right service and advice, whatever their reason for visiting or getting in touch.”

Jason (42), from Higher Compton, and Stefan (33), from Estover, bring over 30 years’ experience in the sales industry, including 15 years in the motor industry.

Matthew continued: “Jason and Stefan are valuable additions to the team and will compliment the sales team currently in place at the van centre.”
