Rhodes has been appointed as a used car sales executive and arrives from Sage, where he worked for in a sales-related role. Prendergast joins as an apprentice body-fitter after working as an administrative assistant for an electricity company. Rice has been recruited as a new painter to work in the Shiremoor paint and bodyshop.
