Ishaq joins JCT600 from Harratts Group where she spent a year as corporate sales manager, including handling the fleet sales function focussing on the Volvo brand. 

Prior to that she worked for Tuskerdirect as account development manager and ING Car Lease as an account manager.

Based in Bradford, in her new role, Ishaq will be responsible for managing fleet sales and the team of local business development managers at six of JCT600’s Volkswagen dealerships. 

She will focus on developing local business, ensuring profitability and sales targets are met and promoting the brand in local areas. 

She said: “With JCT600’s fleet team fully staffed and Volkswagen in such a strong position, it’s a great time to be driving the brand forward with this new role supporting the work of the local business development managers.

“JCT600 has an excellent reputation and I wanted to be part of the team.  Being a Yorkshire girl, I have grown up admiring the dealerships and I am very proud to become part of such a well-respected motor company.  This is a great opportunity to join the JCT600 family and I am looking forward to helping my team to achieve the company mission of ‘not being the biggest but the best’.”
