Jennings Ford has added Felix Maughan to its Eslington Park dealership in Gateshead as a sales executive.

Originally from Corbridge in Northumberland, Felix, 23, moved to Croydon, South London 11 years ago, but last year took the decision to return to Northumberland.

Felix said: “I always knew I wanted to move back to the North East, but I was also keen to pursue a career in car sales after working for two and a half years as a sales executive for a motor dealer in Croydon – so it was all down to finding the right job. I am delighted to have been given the opportunity to do this at Jennings Ford.”

Welcoming Felix on board, Barry Fearon, sales manager at Jennings Ford in Gateshead, commented: “Felix’s appointment is part of an on-going recruitment drive.  The experience he has gained will contribute towards securing both new and used car sales at the dealership.”
