Bletchley Van Centre, part of the Wayside Group, has appointed three new managers to guide the business forward this year.

Duncan Sands has been appointed to lead the team as brand director for the Wayside Group and head of business, having worked at Volkswagen Group's head office within the commercial vehicle department for over 19 years.

Sands’ new management team includes Mark Stevens, who has been appointed as retail sales manager and Paul Robertson, who has been appointed to the role of fleet sales manager.

Stevens has spent the past 15 years selling commercial vehicles for several manufacturers and will be sharing his knowledge with the showroom sales team.

Robertson has over 20 years of experience in the automotive industry and has worked for Mercedes, advising fleet managers at international level on how to get the most out of their commercial vehicles.

The new recruits will join recently promoted aftersales manager Buck Rogers who has worked at Wayside Van Centre for over 12 years.

Sands said: "We understand that our customer’s vans are tools of their trade and we are determined to provide a service that recognises this.

“Our customers operate vans to support their business, if the van is off the road, their business stops and we understand this.

"Our team is now in place to drive our business forward, making sure that all of our customers go away completely satisfied, whatever their reason for visiting or getting in touch."
