Staff at a Shropshire motor
dealership are celebrating after smashing their previous record year
sales figures – with weeks to spare before the end of the year.
The
team at Furrows of Oswestry, in Whittington Road, have had an
incredible 12 months, with profit levels up by nearly 34 per cent on the
previous year.
Sales Manager Daniel Edwards said: “We were
already pleased with our figures from 2014 which was a record year for
us, so to get the news that we’ve smashed even that previous achievement
was fantastic for everyone involved.
“It was even better to hear
that we broke all records with weeks still to spare before the actual
end of the year. So now we’ve set ourselves a real target for 2016 and
we’re all working hard to make sure the success continues.”
Daniel,
who joined Furrows as a trainee in 2006, has worked his way up to the
position of Sales Manager, and has run the sales team for the past 12
months.
“The most noticeable rise in sales has been in the used
cars sector – we are now stocking more used vehicles on site than ever
before, and customers can choose from over 90 vehicles. As well as our
ŠKODA-approved used vehicles, we are selling all brands of cars, and
there really is a huge range to choose from.”
Daniel said Furrows
had worked with ŠKODA to build up the approved range of used vehicles
for sale, and the company had set some extremely tough criteria.
“Each
used ŠKODA vehicle has gone through a rigorous multi-point check, and
comes with a 12-month warranty and 30-day exchange policy, subject to
terms and conditions. So customers can have complete peace of mind and
confidence when they purchase one of the vehicles in this range that
they really are getting the very best in used cars.”
Daniel said new car sales had also been excellent in 2015, with both Ford and ŠKODA vehicles proving popular.
“We’re
all looking forward to building on our sales success in 2016, and it
looks set to be a very exciting year for Furrows of Oswestry with the
official opening of our brand new ŠKODA showroom. We can’t wait to see
what the next 12 months brings, but we’re determined to aim high and
work towards yet another record-breaking year.”
