Mercedes-Benz of Dorchester has taken on Mathew Carrington as sales manager from its sister site in Poole.

He heads up a seven-strong team of sales and support staff.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for me and I’m looking forward to moving the business forward despite the challenges of the current marketplace,” said Carrington.

“Although I will be instigating some minor improvements to our showroom and online presence in order to generate more enquiries, I have every confidence that the quality, breadth and affordability of the Mercedes-Benz product range will continue to attract customers.
