In January last year, a retailing vision was formed. The new management team at Birchwood set about the creation of a strategy which would take the company into new realms of retailing excellence. New Birchwood was born and progress has been swift. Under the guidance of Operations Director, Pete Parker, there have been a significant number of positive changes for the business. A new appointment of Andrew Bremer as the Group Commercials Sales Manager has been hailed as a huge triumph. Parker spoke of the appointment “We have been looking for further growth in the new and used van sales arena. The impetus over the last year or so has opened our eyes to the vast opportunity in the area. Andrew will bring not only bring years of experience, but a necessary professional and managerial boost to the department. This will bring improved control to all aspects of this retail operation which will manifest in a bigger and more satisfied customer base. We are delighted to have Andrew aboard”
Andrew joins Birchwood with over 20 years dealership experience, the majority as dealership manager. Despite running a highly successful operation at his previous commercial dealership, Andrew recognised the huge potential on offer from New Birchwood and agreed to head up the Group’s Commercial Department. Andrew says ‘I am delighted to be returning to New Birchwood and to the Ford franchise, having previously worked here some years ago. Having run a successful commercial operation I appreciate the fantastic opportunity but realise our service standards are crucial. I am fully committed to introducing a culture of professionalism with a high level of customer satisfaction whilst maintaining a friendly welcoming atmosphere to all our past, present and future customers’
The Ford Commercial range goes from strength to strength with vans for all needs and purposes. From the award winning all new Fiesta van through to the capacious Transit Jumbos, Andrew and his team have a commercial vehicle for all your requirements, including people movers. Although the Transit is an iconic name, you may not be aware of all that is on offer:
Transit Connect Transit Sport Transit Econetic Transit Tourneo
But it’s not just Transit; there is also the all new Ford Ranger which was launched earlier in 2009 as the latest Ford Pick up. Ford also offer a 1 Stop range of chassis cabs with customer bodys ranging from Tippers through to curtain sides and Lutons.
A fully FSA accredited finance service is available from the team, with a range of finance and funding packages tailored to suit your needs backed by the industry experts at Ford Credit. Once you are on the road, you can benefit from our affordable service packages and accident management options. Birchwood Business Relations Manager, Kevin Edwards will be supporting Andrew and the team to ensure you get the best support package for your business.
Andrew says ‘I am really excited to be joining New Birchwood and look forward to building and expanding the Commercial vehicle operation. In particular, I plan to establish a class leading used vehicle department offering quality pre owned vehicles fully inspected and prepared by our Ford trained technicians. I see this as a vital development, introducing full consumer choice alongside the fantastic range of new commercial models.
