Vertu Ford Bromley Welcomes New General Manager
Vertu Ford Bromley has appointed Martin Gibson as General Manager, bringing with him 25 years of experience in the automotive industry and a strong background in leading dealerships across the Greater London area.
Martin joins the Vertu Ford dealership, one of more than 16 Vertu Ford dealerships across the UK, to further the site’s success in providing excellent customer experience.
In joining the Group, Martin also hopes to bolster the dealership’s support of the local community; the appointment swiftly follows Vertu’s Ford division receiving a prestigious award from the manufacturer for its achievements in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I).
The dealership works hard to support the local community, which Martin is keen to continue. Vertu Ford Bromley’s partnership with Bromley FC is a key part of that commitment.
Alongside supplying the club with a Ford E-Transit Custom van for use on away days, transporting both kit and equipment, the dealership supports their community initiatives, including helping to promote participation in grassroots sports across the area.
Martin Gibson, General Manager at Vertu Bromley Ford, said: “Joining this fantastic team is a great way to mark my 25th year in the automotive industry. Vertu’s reputation for investing in its colleagues and its communities really stood out to me. Vertu Ford Bromley is a well-established dealership with a talented team, and I’m looking forward to building on that success.
"It’s brilliant to support local organisations like Bromley FC. That kind of involvement demonstrates Vertu’s genuine commitment to the areas it operates in, not just commercially, but socially too.”
Robert Forrester, Chief Executive of Vertu Motors plc, said: “Martin’s experience, leadership, and passion for delivering outstanding customer service make him an excellent fit for Vertu Ford Bromley.
"His commitment to supporting the local community aligns perfectly with our values as a Group, and I am confident he will continue to build on the strong foundations already in place.
“We are delighted to welcome him to Vertu, and I am sure that the dealership will thrive under his leadership.”
