Management Re-structure

With the growth of the company and the addition of a ninth brand in October 2005, Mitsubishi, Col Crawford Lifestyle Cars Managing Director, Stephen Crawford, felt some changes in the management structure were required and well overdue.

He explains, “the staff numbers have been growing steadily over the past 5 years, as has the range of vehicles we have to offer. The management team we had were doing their best within the previous structure, however, there was clearly room for improvement.”

“I decided to split our brands into smaller groups with one manager, given the title of Dealer Principal specifically responsible for that franchise and its staff. The changes have now been implemented and after a lengthy decision process, all but one of the new positions was filled internally with existing long-serving staff members.”

“The 180 staff at Col Crawford Lifestyle Cars have all embraced the management re-structure with much excitement and understanding. It is with no doubt, the only way forward to continue our pursuit of customer service and business excellence. No business can afford to stand still and there is much happening within this company. The changes will ensure there is the focus, drive and energy in all areas to take our business to the next level.”
