Jennings Motor Group’s Eslington Park dealership in Gateshead has seen two members of staff amass a combined 45 years’ of loyal service.

Motability specialist, Paul Pellegrino,  has achieved 25 years of continued service and master technician, Steve Murray, is celebrating 20 years of loyalty at the Gateshead site.Paul’s career began when he was appointed as a sales executive, but within a short period of time, he was promoted to Motability specialist. 

Paul commented: “Being able to assist customers by getting them on the road to mobility, gives you a great deal of job satisfaction.  I have always enjoyed the job I do, which is why I’ve never felt the need or wanted to look for alternative employment.”

Steven Murray was the region’s first technician to qualify in an initiative governed by The Institute of the Motor Industry, when he became a diagnostic technician.  He has since successfully progressed to the highest level of Master technician status.To mark the duo’s anniversaries sales manager, Barry Fearon and service manager, Ian Stewart, handed Paul and Steve their loyalty vouchers and certificates.

Sales manager, Barry Fearon, said; “It was an absolute pleasure presenting the vouchers and certificates to two valuable members of the sales and service team.”
