We caught up with John, to find out more about his background, what drives him and what customers can expect from our used department.
FIVE MINUTES WITH JOHN
How long have you worked in the commercial vehicle industry?
Since I left school, so around 40 years. Over that time, I've gained a real understanding of what operators' need from their trucks and the importance of having the right one for their business.
What do you enjoy most about used truck sales?
For me, the best part of the job is the handover. There's nothing better than seeing the customer with a truck that is exactly what they were looking for.
What makes a great second-hand Scania?
It all comes down to attention to detail. A quality used Scania should make the right impression from the moment you see it. First impressions are important, but it's also about the history, condition and overall preparation of the vehicle. The small details all add up to making a truck that customers have confidence in.
What advice would you give to someone buying their first used truck?
My advice would be to set and agree expectations from the very beginning. Having an open conversation about what you need from the truck, how it will be used and what you're looking for ensures that everyone is on the same page. Buying a truck is a big decision, so understanding your requirements is key.
What are you looking forward to most in your new role?
I'm looking forward to playing my part in the continued growth of the wider business and helping to build on our Used Scania offering. A big part of that is finding the right vehicles for local operators across East Anglia and making sure we have the stock to meet their needs.
If a customer is looking for a specific Scania, how can you help?
The most important thing is listening to what the customer actually needs. Every operator is different, so it is about understanding their business, their operation and their budget, then finding a truck that genuinely fits those requirements.
Just because the exact truck someone is looking for isn't currently showing in stock, it doesn't mean that we can't help. With our experience and network of contacts, we can source specific vehicles and work with customers to find the right solution.
Our aim is to always be as accomodating as possible and make the process of finding the right truck, as straightforward as possible.
With fresh stock arriving regularly and a strong focus on quality, preparation and customer service, there has never been a better time to explore our used Scania range.
