  • Ensure full compliance with all Health & Safety, DVSA, and industry standards.
  • Report on branch performance and contribute to wider business planning.

Proven experience in a management or supervisory role within an HGV or commercial vehicle workshop.

  • Exceptional leadership and communication skills.
  • A proactive, customer-first approach and commercial mindset.
