- Welcome customers on collection, guide them through the vehicle handover, and demonstrate key features, controls, and technology to ensure full confidence in their new car.
- Deliver a professional, friendly, and customer-focused experience at every handover, maintaining brand presentation and communication standards.
- Carry out post-handover follow-ups where required, offering support with after-sales queries, road-tax, insurance, or general vehicle questions.
- Work closely with sales, admin, valeting, and workshop teams to ensure vehicles are prepared and ready on time, supporting smooth customer handovers and showroom flow.
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.
