Dear Team Members,

A TEAM MEMBER STATEMENT & ANNOUNCEMENT - Jon Ratcliff Appointed As Brand Manager for Platinum Hyundai

Martyn and I are delighted to announce that Jon Ratcliff has been appointed as Brand Manager for our Platinum Hyundai businesses (Trowbridge and Chippenham).

Jon joined the Platinum Group in November 2014, as Sales Manager for our Chippenham site, moving to Trowbridge in the General Sales Manager role to coincide with the opening of the new Trowbridge dealership, whilst retaining an overview of the Chippenham Sales Department.

As Brand Manager for Platinum Hyundai for both locations, Jon will continue his overall management of the Sales side of the business, but will additionally encompass wider management responsibility of the Aftersales aspects of the business with a view to taking the business forward as a “united front” centred around customer care, business performance and cohesion.

Jon will continue to report to Martyn Read (Joint Operations Director) and will, of course, work with all Directors, Managers and Team Members who work within, or have an overlap with the Hyundai parts of the company. He will carry into his enhanced role a deep knowledge and experience of the Hyundai brand, and a track record of sustained success in step with the growth of the brand.

Jon will also have some overlap involvement with the Platinum Group’s new Pebley Beach acquisition, again working under Martyn’s leadership and guidance.

I’m sure everyone will join Martyn and myself in wishing Jon every success in his enhanced role.

Yours sincerely

Jeremy
