North East business life: charity, community and award events in the region

Colleagues at Bristol Street Motors Newcastle Vauxhall celebrated 40 years of service by Motability specialist Gavin Gray.

Mr Gray joined the dealership at the age of 18 as a junior in the sales department, working with new and used cars. When Vauxhall took the decision 35 years ago to have a Motability Specialist at every site, he was elected to the role. The Motability Scheme offers a leasing package to help people with disabilities, their families and carers regain or maintain their independence and become mobile.

Over the years he has won a number of Motability accolades, meeting the late Queen on several occasions. He said: “I’ve had a fantastic 40 years with Bristol Street Motors Newcastle Vauxhall. It is a brilliant company to work for and I have had lots of opportunities for both personal and professional development. I love what I do, helping Motability customers to become mobile is very rewarding. I’m proud that we have been recognised on a number of occasions for our excellence, and meeting the late Queen three times has been the icing on the cake.”
