Sarah takes us through her motoring expertise and Sales Executive role that brings the opportunity to learn something new every day.

Super-active Sarah, a fitness fanatic, has been with us at Grange for three years since she joined us from the London Metropolitan Police Force. Sarah shares her experiences of transitioning to a Sales Executive working for a premium motoring marque.

"I’m Sarah, one of the Sales Associates at Grange Tunbridge Wells and I have been with the company for 3 years, having previously worked most of my career in London for the Metropolitan Police."

"Being unsure of what to expect from my new role at Grange, and selling cars face-to-face really for the first time, it is safe to say I was a little apprehensive about the career change. I was joining a whole new team and really a very new business at a new location with a variety of new responsibilities that come with working for such a premium, extraordinary brand as Bentley."

"From the minute I met the management, sales and service teams at the dealership I felt as though I had always been a part of the group. I was welcomed with open arms, given expert training - which continues with a lot of new and exciting, more sustainable products being announced - and everyone always goes out of their way to ensure that I was happy and content with the change in career."

"Grange's focus on 'Guest Delight', to provide a world-class service, really does resonate with me from my time in the Met so every day I genuinely look forward to meeting new people, catching up with our regular Guests and listening to and finding exactly what they are looking for. Of course, the COVID-19 disrupted 2020 has been challenging for all of us but at the same time its been rewarding in different ways to learn to communicate virtually and build cars online to Guest specs with Bentley's 'Digital Commissioning Experience' - its been a journey and one I am very much looking forward to continuing in the future at Grange."

What do you like to do in your free time?
"I am super active, whether that be hanging out with my 13 years old or in the gym, I am constantly outside doing something and currently learning to skateboard."

What’s an interesting fact about you?
"I speak Italian fluently."

What led you to this career?
"I have always been in the fleet sector of the motor trade and this was an opportunity to learn something new."

What is one thing most people don’t know about you?
"I am very strong and am a decent crossfitter and Olympic weight lifter."

What’s your favourite way to unwind after a busy day?
"Hang out with my boys or in the gym training."

What is your favourite all-time car?
"Continental GT W12 - the gift that keeps on giving. It always makes me smile when I hear it and see it."
