Growing car dealership launches recruitment drive

Lloyd Motor Group is expanding its York operation, creating up to 25 more jobs as it continues its reinvestment in the area.

The expansion is part of a number of recent successes for the motor group in York, alongside establishing a new customer contact centre.

David McIntyre, head of business of Lloyd JLR York, said: “This expansion offers an exciting opportunity for Lloyd Motor Group to strengthen further and expand its offering in York.

“These new opportunities will take the staff numbers at York from just under 80 to over 100.”

Lloyd Motor Group, founded in 1976, operates in 32 locations across northern England and southern Scotland and employs over 1,200 people.

As part of its recruitment drive, Lloyd Jaguar Land Rover York will hold a recruitment open day on Monday 16 January 2023.

McIntyre added: “The site’s potential has been growing rapidly since Lloyd Motor Group’s acquisition in July 2021, and we have more exciting growth plans for 2023. Our long-term strategy is to lead the market.”

Positions will include sales executives, service advisors, showroom hosts, vehicle technicians, customer experience advisors and parts and technician apprentices.

The new customer contact centre in York will initially be used by four of Lloyd Motor Group’s sites in the coming years across the Yorkshire and Northumberland area for incoming and outgoing service bookings.

It will be based in a custom-made facility on the first floor of the building.

The expansion sees Lloyd Motor Group’s significant investment in the Jaguar and Land Rover brands continue and follows extensive retailer refurbishments at its other retailer locations.

Sam Lloyd, managing director of Lloyd Motor Group, said: “At the heart of Lloyd Motor Group’s brand lie our people and values.

“They drive our operating principles and ambitions, which are fundamental to how we work. We look forward to welcoming new colleagues to our York retailer at an exciting time for us and our industry.”
