Charlotte also assisted the Marketing department helping to run the Furrows Group social media accounts and update the company website. In September 2017, the Furrows Marketing team had a slight restructure and Charlotte was offered a full-time position in the Marketing team based at the Shrewsbury dealership.

She will work closely with each member of the Sales Admin team to build a vast and concise knowledge of the Sales Admin process from start to finish, making her a fully rounded Sales Administrator once all training is complete.

Joint Managing Director, Dave Farthing said ‘It really is great that we have all five sisters now working for us in various departments across two of our dealerships. It’s a fantastic testament to Furrows that not just one sister but all five have chosen to work for us. The girls are all enthusiastic, hard-working individuals, a great asset to the company and a credit to their parents’

Now the big question on everyone’s lips is ‘What do you call a group of Banks sisters?’ Suggestions on a postcard!
