Salesman buys car from rival brand and lands job with dealership

A car salesman has landed a job with a rival brand, after crossing the forecourts to buy a new vehicle.

Despite working for a rival car dealership Scott Albison (19), from Highworth, bought a new Suzuki Swift Sport from Swindon dealership Pebley Beach – and was so impressed with the level of customer service and the friendliness of the staff he decided to apply for a job there.

"I already owned a Suzuki Swift Sport – which is quick, affordable, and not too bad on the insurance for a young driver like me – and wanted a new one," said Scott. 

"I walked from the dealership where I worked to Pebley Beach to make my purchase, and it occurred to me what a great place it would be to work. So when a job came up two months later I applied – and was successful!"

The former Warneford School and Cirencester College pupil started his sales career at Swindon's Designer Outlet, selling audio equipment for top-end brand Bose.

But the petrolhead always fancied selling cars for a living. 

Now he'll be showing prospective buyers around the new range of Suzukis... although when he talks about a 'good little runner' it won't be clear if he's describing the car or himself – when he's not at work Scott enjoys road running and is training towards a half marathon.

Financial Disclosure

Pebley Beach Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Pebley Beach Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
