Vertu Toyota Loughborough General Manager Celebrates 25 Years Of Service
Mark Goode, General Manager of Vertu Toyota Loughborough, has marked 25 years of service with the company.
Mark began his journey in 2000, joining a newly appointed team running a brand-new start-up business in Boston, Lincolnshire representing the Honda franchise.
Over the years, he has played a pivotal role in shaping the culture and performance of the dealerships in which he has worked, earning a reputation for his leadership skills and a deep commitment to both his team and customer service.
Mark Goode, General Manager at Vertu Toyota Loughborough said: "When I started a quarter of a century ago, the business looked very different both in name and in scale. Vertu now has nearly 200 dealerships under a single name, so we’re part of something much bigger, but what’s remained constant is the drive to do things the right way.
“I’ve had the chance to work with some brilliant people, and it’s been rewarding to see how far we’ve come in terms of the business and the colleague development.
“Things are a lot different than when I started in the motor retail. Electric cars are now a key part of the business, something I would never have thought possible 25 years ago.
“I’ve been very lucky to be in a business that rewards hard work and dedication and have been supported to learn new skills which has allowed me to progress up to running a number of dealerships in the group over the years and right now I am very proud leading the team in state-of-the-art facilities at Vertu Toyota Loughborough.”
The occasion was marked at Vertu Toyota Loughborough, where Mark was presented with a certificate by his Group Operations Director Chris Taylor.
Chris Taylor, Group Operations Director at Vertu, commented: “Mark’s contribution over the past 25 years has been exceptional. He is someone who brings positive energy and consistency to everything he does, with a true care and focus on customer relationships.
“His ability to lead with integrity has made a lasting impact on the colleagues he’s supported and developed over his career so far. We are all very proud to have him on our team at Vertu.”
