Jennings Motor Group’s Paul Beadling has transferred from its Ford Direct showroom in Middlesbrough to take on a new role as the group’s internet sales manager.

Beadling’s career with Jennings started 18 years ago when he was appointed as a sales executive at the group’s Ford dealership in Stockton. 

Working his way through the ranks, he earned promotions to business manager, sales controller and sales manager, gaining valuable experience at the group’s SEAT, Ford Direct and former Ford branch in Sunderland.

He will now be based at the Kia franchise on Parsons Road in Washington.

Beadling commented: “This is a fantastic opportunity for me to further broaden my experience and knowledge.

“The majority of customers know exactly which model and specification they want when they visit our website.

“As a result of our highly competitive prices and outstanding customer service, customers are confident and willing to commit to a purchase without physically seeing and inspecting the vehicle first.”
