Career history
My own career began when I joined the motor industry on a graduate induction scheme in 1986. Since then I have held roles on both the manufacturer and retail sides of the business and within both private and PLC organisations. From 1996 to 2023 I worked with Norton Way Motors Ltd becoming a Director and shareholder of the company in 2008.
Whilst working as a multi-brand Operations Director and a Corporate Director, my experience included all aspects of the Franchised Dealer role. This resulted in recognition at a number of Industry Awards, including both the Automotive Management and the MotorTrader Awards and, in March 2014, Norton Way was named as “Fleet Dealer of the Year” at the prestigious Fleet News Awards. My Team and I also won the MotorTrader Award for “Sales Team of the Year” on a record four occasions and the business was recognised in 2023 for its advanced work in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.
As a Fellow of the Institute of the Motor Industry (FIMI), I became formally involved with the Institute when appointed as a non-executive Director to IMI Awards in 2012 and subsequently a non-executive Director of the Institute of the Motor Industry in 2014.
I am a Graduate of the University of Leeds (B.A. Hons. Economics and Management Studies).
