Automotive retailer bolsters ‘reinvestment’ in York with regional recruitment drive

Lloyd Motor Group has revealed that it is expanding its York operation, creating up to 25 new jobs as it continues its reinvestment in the area.

The expansion is part of a number of recent “triumphs” for the motor group in York, alongside establishing a new customer contact centre and being awarded JLR network’s ‘Rapid Recovery Centre’ status for their service department.

David McIntyre, head of business of Lloyd JLR York, commented: “This expansion offers an exciting opportunity for Lloyd Motor Group to strengthen further and expand its offering in York. These new opportunities will take the staff numbers at York from just under 80 to over 100.”

Lloyd Motor Group, founded in 1976, operates in 32 locations across Northern England and Southern Scotland and employs over 1,200 people. As part of this recruitment drive, Lloyd Jaguar Land Rover York will hold a recruitment open day on Monday, January 16 2023.

David added: “We are holding an informal and friendly recruitment open day in January. Everyone is welcome to visit us, regardless of experience, and learn more about the career opportunities here. We are happy for people just to come in for an informal chat and find out about our business and our staff.

“The site’s potential has been growing rapidly since Lloyd Motor Group’s acquisition in July 2021, and we have more exciting growth plans for 2023. Our long-term strategy is to lead the market.”

Positions will include sales executives, service advisors, showroom hosts, vehicle technicians, customer experience advisors and parts and technician apprentices.

The new customer contact centre in York will initially be utilised by four of Lloyd Motor Group’s sites in the coming years across the Yorkshire and Northumberland area for incoming and outgoing service bookings. It will be based in a custom-made facility on the first floor of the building.

The additional positions needed in their workshop are down to being awarded the exciting Rapid Recovery Centre status. This JLR initiative prioritises Lloyd York as the official recovery specialist in the Yorkshire area.

The expansion sees Lloyd Motor Group’s significant investment in the Jaguar and Land Rover brands continue and follows extensive retailer refurbishments at its other retailer locations.
