Bradford motor retailer expands with 50 new jobs

Yorkshire business JCT600, one of the UK’s largest privately owned motor retailers, is expanding to incorporate another 50 positions into the company.

JCT600 has its head office in Bradford and now has 47 dealerships across the region.

Graham Clark, HR director of the company said: “While JCT600 is extremely well known in the region, many people only seem to think of us as a potential employer if they are already working in the motor industry,”

“Obviously, some of our roles do require specific motor-related experience, but we offer many that do not. From sales, after sales and administration staff to technicians and service advisers, there are literally hundreds of opportunities within the business.

“The main skills we are looking for are enthusiasm, a commitment to providing excellent customer service and the potential to learn and work hard; we will provide all of the necessary training to fill in any gaps.”

Mr Clark adds: “Having acquired the Gilder Group earlier this year, our workforce grew from 1,350 to more than 1,800 people, meaning that we can now offer even more opportunities for progression.”

As well as the benefits you would expect from one of Yorkshire’s leading companies, JCT600 still retains a very strong family ethos with many of our team having 35 years of service.“

“We place a huge emphasis on enabling staff to grow with us by taking advantage of our robust internal development programme which offers clearly defined career paths - our aim is to attract the best staff and keep them.”
