Anchor Vans Continues Expansion, Seeking Experienced Sales Person To Cope With Extraordinary Demand

Sept. 24, 2009 - PRLog -- Anchor Vans, Berkshire's leading used van vendor, is continuing to expand despite the recession. Continued record sales and high demand for used vans and other commercial vehicles requires the addition of another individual to the highly successful Anchor Vans commercial vehicle sales team. Over recent months, the growth of Anchor Vans has already led to the recruitment of five people, making the new sales person the sixth individual to be recruited from the Reading area. The new sales person needs to be experienced in motor trade sales and able to step into the new role with the minimum amount of training. For more information call 0118 9710 230 or go to www.anchorvans.co.uk.

Simon Joyce, Sales Director for Anchor Vans said; "Anchor Vans has been having a remarkable year; we've expanded our used van sales premises and recently became a Ford-approved repairs and vehicle servicing agent, expanding the team with five new members of staff. In doing so, we have played an important role in the local economy, being in the excellent position of offering solid employment during a recession. To be able to extend that to an additional experienced sales person – the sixth new job created this year alone - is a great pleasure."

The demand for used vehicles and the increase in prices has not escaped the attention of the national press, and Anchor Vans has regularly reported similar trends on the commercial vehicle sector. "The used commercial vehicle sector is in an extraordinary situation; last year during the depths of the recession, companies that own fleets of cars sold off stock and didn't replenish their vehicle inventory to pre-recession levels. A year later, we find ourselves with less stock in the used vehicle sector as there are fewer used fleet vehicles in the system. Coupled with the increasing demand caused by the government scrappage scheme, we have a need for an experienced sales person, someone who has worked in the motor trade and can step straight into selling used vans, meeting the high levels of service that our customers rightly expect."
