10 Year Anniversary At Mercedes-Benz South West

It’s the time of year to think about what we’re grateful for, and we’re celebrating the 10-Year Anniversaries of some of our fantastic staff!

They have played an essential part in developing the business, and are a true asset to each of our team across the South West.

We want to say a big ‘thank you’ to:

Steven Mildoon, Service Manager, Plymouth

Darren Howell, Driver, Truro

Roger Cox, Cleaner, Truro

Jeremy Chisholm, Passenger Car Technician, Exeter

Jonathan Stamp, Passenger Car Technician, Exeter

Richard Blackmore, Area Warranty, Exeter

Robert Gowan, LCV Forecourt Controller and Site Maintenance, Taunton

Jon Tippett, Parts Advisor, Truro

Kevin Heffron, Passenger Car Technician, Plymouth

To reflect upon and celebrate their time here, we spoke to a few of the team to share some of their highlights over the past decade working at Mercedes-Benz South West.

Jon Tippett

“Wow, not sure where the last 10 years have gone! I started here as a Parts Driver; if I’m honest I didn’t expect it to be a long term role, more of a stop gap having recently been made redundant. A few years later I was approached by our Parts Supervisor to see if I would be interested in re-training as a Parts Advisor. I did ask the question: “you do realise that even though I like cars, I have no mechanical knowledge at all?”

The rest is history, and there’s certainly been lots of change and fantastic development over the years. I’m lucky to work with such a great team and for such a great brand.”

Kevin Heffron

“I am thrilled to celebrate my 10-year anniversary. It has been an amazing journey filled with growth, learning, and success. I am grateful for the opportunities I have been given, and for the support of my colleagues and managers. I look forward to many more years of collaboration and innovation at City West Country.”

Richard Blackmore

“It’s been a pleasure working the last 10 years with such a fantastic team sharing in the success in the growth of the aftersales business, challenges, and looking forward to the future of our additional Chinese brands in furthering my knowledge and the support from the company.”
