Jennings Motor Group has added to its internet sales team as demand grows for online sales.

31-year-old, Jordan Scott, from Darlington, has been appointed as an internet customer service and sales executive. Jordan’s CV includes 10 years working as a welder for an engineering company,  and experience in the hospitality industry whilst studying for his A Levels.

Based at the group’s head office on Parsons Road in Washington, Jordan’s new role will see him working as part of a seven-strong team where he will be responsible for liaising with potential customers’ on-line and securing local and national sales over the telephone, in addition to arranging vehicle deliveries for customers and providing the company’s award-winning customer service.

Jordan commented: “I am delighted to be joining the internet sales team and looking forward to selling the wide range of products and services available to customers.”

Welcoming Jordan to the team, group internet sales manager, Barry Dunn said: “We are delighted to welcome Jordan on board. His appointment is part of an on-going expansion and recruitment drive, which has been put in place to meet demand for internet sales.”

“Although there is a high volume of customers who still like to visit the showroom to see and test drive a car prior to making that final purchasing decision, we are noticing a growing trend of motorists who are willing to commit to an online purchase, without necessarily seeing or test driving the vehicle first.

“This is mainly down to individual customers knowing exactly which model and specification they are looking for when they first log onto the company’s website, which offers a wide range of competitively priced high quality products.  In addition to this, confidence and trust is instilled not only with Jennings’ long established business history, but also the company’s award-winning customer service.”
