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.”
