Jennings Group has appointed Chris Butt as sales controller at Jennings Seat dealership – just six months after his previous promotion.

Butt received his first promotion to deputy compliance manager earlier this year but his latest set up the business’ promotional ladder will see him assisting franchise manager, Craig Johnson, with the day-to-day running of the Middlesbrough-based dealership.

He will be overseeing the sales team, contributing towards achieving monthly and quarterly sales objectives, as well as being responsible for all aspects of customer finance.

Butt said: “This is another fantastic opportunity for me and I am absolutely delighted and looking forward to the daily challenges ahead in my new role.”

Butt started working for Jennings four years ago when he was taken on as a sales executive, after working as a fitness instructor at a local gym. 

Franchise manager, Craig Johnson, said: “Over the years, Chris has gained valuable experience and knowledge in both new and used car sales, as well as recently being trained to arrange finance when customers want to buy their car through personal contract purchase.”
