Gary Stevenson has been appointed as the new sale manager of Nidd Vale Saab.

Stevenson started his career at Nidd Vale 22 years ago, before he left to work for a number of other dealerships in the area.

Colin Hainstock, chairman and chief executive of Nidd Vale, said: “This is a boomerang situation with a difference. We are very used to former employees returning after a year or two elsewhere, but I think this is the first time that anyone has waited 22 years before coming back!”
