Westover Nissan in Bournemouth has hired Paul Gentle to oversee its sales team.

With nearly seven years Westover experience (latterly as a senior sales advisor), he will develop a new commercial centre.

"Nissan has an unbeatable range of vehicles, so I’m not too daunted by my brief," says Gentle.

"Additionally, we offer 24 hour servicing and have a designated commercial workshop, with its own team of technicians.

"I’m determined to exceed all expectations. I’m looking forward to putting my strategic plans into action and developing new contacts, as well as seeing previous customers - this time with my ‘commercial hat’ on," added Gentle.

Gentle will be supported by Mark Christopher, who is taking on responsibility for the day-to-day running of the commercial service department. As the customer-face of the dealership, he will deal with business-users from the point of booking a service through to making follow-up calls.
