JCT 600 Volkswagen Van Centre York has hired a new commercial team as well as revamping its service facilities.

It has brought in commercial sales manager Peter Newcombe, local business development manager Richard Johnston and showroom manager Nick Swinson.

The trio all join the York branch with experience in the motor industry dating back to the mid 90’s

In addition to their appointment the commercial service department has also been bolstered with Matt Souter joining as a commercial service manager and Neil Feve hired as commercial service advisor.

They will be part of the revamped service offered to customers who will benefit from a dedicated commercial workshop with extended opening hours and larger capacity.

Newcombe, who has previously worked with Ford and Land Rover, said: “I’m delighted to join JCT 600 York. We have a great team already in place and with the additions of Nick and Richard we will only make the business stronger.

“Richard and Nick both have a wealth of experience and their knowledge will be for the benefit of our existing and future customer.

“In terms of what my hopes are for the branch, I want to ensure that our Van Centre here in York is the supplier of choice for all new and existing VW customers within North Yorkshire and its surrounding areas.

“We’re looking forward to sharing that success with our key partners.”

Customers of JCT 600 York will now be able to take advantage of longer service hours - 7am until 6pm weekdays with one late night opening per week.
