At Wessex Garages, we’ve been putting customers first and delivering excellence in automotive retail for over 35 years. With dealerships across South Wales and the South West of England, we proudly represent leading manufacturers including Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, GWM, and Mitsubishi. For these leading brands, we supply new and used cars and vans, deliver after sales support, and champion the Motability Scheme.

We’re proud to offer our customers and colleagues an experience built on Knowledge, Value, Transparency, and Trust — values that are at the heart of everything we do.

About The Role

Wessex Garages has an opportunity for someone with a passion for customer retention to begin an exciting career in the motor trade at a long-established, multi-franchise car dealership.

This role involves working with our four franchises to improve and coordinate customer retention. The successful candidate will gather information required to perform analytics and report back to their Line Manager. The role involves accurately logging findings into our CRM database and spreadsheets.

The role brings together a multitude of opportunities and marketing disciplines across the entire business. Therefore, the ability to work and interact with members of staff at various levels throughout all departments is a must. Strong organizational and communicative skills are also essential for this role.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
