Motorvise has recruited Toby Coates as its new head of sales as the business looks to strengthen its relationship with car manufacturers and "turbocharge" its growth.

Coates joins MotorVise from Dekra Automotive Ltd andf has a previous track record of managing numerous projects and programmes, helping to deliver outstanding service to a variety of car, LCV and motorcycle manufacturers and National Sales Companies.

MotorVise managing director, Fraser Brown, said: “Toby’s client-centric, solutions focused approach is exactly in line with the MotorVise brand values. 

“Our aim is to build long-term supportive relationships with our clients. Toby will be particularly focused on growing the OEM side of our business as we already work with seven of the top 10 dealer groups and a significant portion of the UK franchised dealers.”

Coates said: “I’m delighted to be working with such a customer focused can-do team. It’s refreshing working with so many people who are developing fresh new solutions for the new age in automotive retail.

“I’m confident the solutions MotorVise offer will be hugely useful to many of my existing contacts.”

Brown said that the launch of MotorVise’s Automotive Retail Academy and the training solutions we provide to a number of OEM’s and dealer groups – as well as our incentive systems and new generation of car sales events – positive word of mouth had spread so quickly that we were struggling to keep up with enquiries.

He added: “Toby will be able to manage and generate enquiries and turbocharge our growth.”
