Since joining Tish has taken on the mantle of managing our data and data entry records, customer testimonials and website content. Working closely with Mel and Dana, she makes up a third of the administration department which, with her keen attention to detail, means everything is in order and ready for when our customers come to collect their next truck and is a very valued member of the team.




Mel

Like Tish, Mel also joined us in the spring of 2018. Having worked in a customer facing role for a number of years Mel is perfectly placed to handle any enquiry whether this be arranging a private registration, or liaising directly with our customers to discuss documents and taxation of their truck. Working closely with Tish and Dana, Mel controls all service records, ensuring each truck has a complete up to date history as well as invoicing and dealing with funders. Always busy, yet always smiling, her experience and attention to detail ensures our standards never slip!

Since becoming a permanent member of staff Dana has now taken on the role of managing all social media platforms as well as putting her graphic design skills to use in creating all of our adverts. Dana takes great pride in every aspect of her work which makes her the perfect fit to the team!
