Reading, United Kingdom, September 05, 2009 --(PR.com
)-- Anchor Vans, one of the leading vendors of used vans in the UK, continues to expand; recruiting five more members of staff from the local community over August and September. Two Ford service technician positions and a sales administrator position have already been filled, leaving remaining vacancies for a sales executive and a service administrator. The expansion of the used van dealership and the recently opened Ford approved servicing facilities is a result of the highest used van sales results achieved in the twenty year history of the company. For more information call 0118 9710 230 or go to www.anchorvans.co.uk.
"The fact that we are recruiting five new members of staff despite being in a deep and prolonged recession is testament to the huge success we've enjoyed this summer," commented Simon Joyce, Sales Director of Anchor Vans. "The new Ford approved repairs and servicing offering has been a big hit, contributing to the need for specialised technicians, and the sheer amount of vans sold since Easter has merited the recruitment of sales executives and administration staff. We're still looking for a sales executive and a service administrator," Simon added. "We've had a great initial response and look forward to finding the perfect people to join our team."
The Anchor Vans used van dealership has been one of Reading's home-grown business success stories. It has won the Motor Trader "Used Van and Light Commercial Vehicle Trader of the Year" award twice, with special mention of the incredibly successful website. The business expanded to the extent that it created a new vehicle servicing and used van sales complex that opened in early 2009, creating many local jobs. "We are privileged to be able to play such an active role in the local economy," Simon enthused. "We have a great deal of responsibility, both as a reputable used van dealer to our customers, a critical Ford approved servicing provider and an employer that is recruiting at a time when so many are looking for jobs. We take all of those responsibilities seriously, and have been incredibly successful as a result. It's hard work, but most definitely worth it," Simon concluded.
