The aftersales team at the Holt Mitsubishi dealership in Derby is celebrating after notching up 80 years of service between its members.

Leading the way is assistant aftersales manager Andy Reed with 23 years service with the Mitsubishi franchise, followed by aftersales manager Ted Armal with 20 years, master technicians Leigh Allsop and Chris Boot with 18 and eight years respectively, service adviser Paul Preece with 10 years and apprentice Lewis Clay with just a year under his belt.

Armal said: "It’s great that we have reached the 80-year mark with Mitsubishi between us. The most important thing is it gives continuity to our customers because they are seeing the same faces every time they come in. We get a lot of repeat business because of the trust that has built up and the customers feel comfortable."

Dealer principal Brian Holt said customers value seeing a familiar face when they come to the dealership.
