SALES MANAGER - BATCHELORS OF RIPON

We are looking for an experienced, exceptional, motivated and target orientated Car Sales Manager. This is an opportunity to become part of an exciting and expanding family business.

Why now? We’ve just partnered with Omoda & Jaecoo, two of the fastest-growing automotive brands in the UK. Launched in late 2024, these cutting-edge brands delivered over 6,000 new car registrations in just one quarter — with only two models!

This is a full time role working Monday to Friday 8.45 am to 6.00 pm and Saturday 8.45 am to 5.00 pm with a day off during the week. The business is closed every Sunday (apart from New Car Events) and Bank Holidays.

As a family-owned business, we pride ourselves on our TLC, not PLC philosophy, and we are looking for individuals who embrace our Batchelors I-Can Attitude: the belief that with the right mindset, we can achieve anything together. Join our team and become part of an environment where you’re treated like family and encouraged to grow.

The successful individual will need understanding of the values required to deal with both premium and volume car products along with customers who have chosen us because of our TLC not PLC ethos. They will also need to be able to motivate and progress the sales staff at the branch with a positive and encouraging approach to make sure targets are exceeded and customers receive the highest level of customer service at all times.

You need to have entrepreneurial flair, be a self-starter and happy to manage all aspects of a car sales department.
