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

Lee’s journey from Technician Apprentice to Service Manager is the perfect example of how hard work and determination can lead to a successful career at Arnold Clark. After finishing his Technician Apprenticeship in our Altrincham Honda branch in 2007, Lee completed the Kia Master Technician Programme in 2013, becoming the first accredited Kia Master Technician within the Arnold Clark Group.

He then worked his way up from Service Advisor to Service Manager at Huddersfield Renault/Peugeot, where he spent two and a half years improving the branch’s financial performance, instilling good practice and building a consistent and effective team, before moving onto Manchester Vauxhall. In 2023, Lee moved to Liverpool Motorstore, where he is currently based, to manage one of our largest Service departments – consistently improving the branch’s performance and profitability while overseeing the team.

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."
