Climbing the ranks

We provide life-long careers at Arnold Clark, and Neive, our Mercedes-Benz of Perth Franchise Lead and Retention Manager, is a perfect example of the many progression opportunities we offer. From starting as a Product Genius in 2019, Neive soon progressed into Sales as a Product Consultant in 2020, where she received the award for 'Best New Product Consultant’ at the Arnold Clark Recognition Awards 2022.

Just a year later, through hard work and a can-do attitude, she earned her current role as Franchise Lead and Retention Manager at our Mercedes-Benz of Perth branch, working closely with four other sites in Dundee, Aberdeen, Grangemouth and Inverness. Receiving training through the Management Licence Programme, regular Mercedes-Benz training and support from her managers, Neive is flourishing in her role. Neive said: "When I was promoted, I was absolutely ecstatic. The company really do recognise you for your hard work and believe in progression – it was like a pat on the back for all my hard work and passion for the brand."

Embracing opportunities

As a business, we’re proud to offer a wide variety of progression opportunities that lead to lifelong careers – and Michael’s story is a great example of this.

From starting as a 16-year-old Bodyshop Assistant to becoming the Area Bodyshop Manager of Central Scotland, Michael’s Arnold Clark career has been a long and fulfilling one. Progress started when he took an in-house training course and began shadowing assistant mangers, managers, and even covering other branches where needed at the age of 23.

He was then recognised for his hard work and progressed to Assistant Bodyshop Manager, before quickly becoming Bodyshop Manager of Bishopbriggs, and then Area Bodyshop Manager of Central Scotland. If you have the drive, we’ll steer you in the right direction.

Full circle moment

Becoming General Manager at just 23 years old, Jack progressed from Product Genius to the Manager of his branch in a short six years. Jack joined Salford Vauxhall as a Product Genius at 18 years old, but by working alongside insightful and supportive colleagues and showing his managers he could perform well while helping others, he progressed to a Product Consultant in just 12 months.

In 2017, he was made Sales Manager at Manchester Vauxhall, then earned his promotion to General Manager at Stoke Vauxhall in 2020 – the biggest branch in the English franchise. After two years at Stoke, Jack was offered a return home to Salford to become General Manager of Salford Vauxhall, before moving to our Stretford branch where he is currently based.

Jack said: "I never had a work ethic when I started in Arnold Clark, and now it is unmatched. You look at the people who are in a position you want to be in and you analyse what they do compared to your average Joe. With the correct mindset and drive, there are outstanding opportunities to progress within your department at Arnold Clark."
