Swansway Motor Group has appointed Simon Handy to the role of general sales manager at Stoke Audi, having previously worked as a new sales manager at another Audi dealership.

“So far it has been brilliant, the team are receptive and have helped me to settle in, while getting accustomed to how I work. I really benefited from the company induction, meeting the likes of Marc Evans, group sales training manager, was helpful and we’re working well.”

Looking ahead, Handy hopes that the Stoke Audi team can continue to provide an excellent customer experience and watch the sales develop.

Neil Rimmer, head of business at Stoke Audi, commented on Handy’s appointment: “We were initially attracted by Simons’ previous Audi management experience and in addition, his mentoring and coaching skills had shone through during our discussions. Since starting he has fitted in well with the rest of the team and instantly taken to the way that we do things at Swansway.

"Simon has also brought with him plenty of additional processes and new ideas that have worked well for him previously that will be beneficial to the team, the dealership and its customers going forward.”
