Adam
Marketing Executive – VW SKODA
Since August 2018
My day-to-day role can vary from creating digital content for our website and social media channels to customer facing events. Whilst a lot of people may think that marketing is all about visuals and creativity, I spend a lot of time looking at analysis in order to improve for the future.
Due to the fast natured environment we’re in, my days can vary a lot. The main aim of the game never changes though, to drive enquiries through our business! This is for the sales teams, but also service and parts.
I have found that the culture at JMG is fun and relaxed with an undercurrent of necessary expectation.
Morgan
Purchase Ledger Clerk
Since September 2017
As an accounts team we support our allocated dealerships. In my Regional Accounting Centre (RAC) we look after Volkswagen, Skoda, BMW Mini and Honda’s Purchase Ledgers. We look after dealerships paying for goods and services, working closely with the cashiering team who make payments.
My daily routine is inputting invoices, reconciliations and allocating cash, with monthly BACS runs, parts and warranty reconciliations.
I received a form of promotion to take on a bigger site in BMW recently, which offers me opportunity to develop myself. We can offer people more than just a job, but a chance to build a career here, with amazing support to do training and change roles internally to gain further experiences. Jardine believe in their staff and want us to succeed!
Vicki
Marketing Manager – Luxury brands
Since June 2016
I’m very fortunate to deal with beautiful cars each and every day, creating content for social media and developing customer facing communications to ensure we offer the best customer service across all touchpoints. Event management is also a big part of my role within the high luxury sector, building events for launches of new cars and offers.
My career at JMG to date has been full of personal achievements, and I am very proud of my personal development. In the 2 years I’ve been with the group, I have been promoted from Commercial Operations Executive to Luxury Brand Exec, and most recently to Luxury Brand Manager. It’s not just a job working at Jardine Motors, it’s a chance to grow and develop.
