Mike Brings Experience And Much More To The Team

Although it’s widely accepted that experience is gained by doing a job it’s not quite the full story and to say that our newly appointed used car sales manager Mike Charnley has experience because of his previous appointments is quite frankly an understatement.

 

Working with some of the top brands in the world namely Land Rover, Maserati and Lamborghini would certainly tick the experience box but his personality, approach to the job and the ease with which he has very quickly built a rapport with the execs  in the sales team speak volumes about the way that he has embraced his new role. 

 

It’s not all about cars either and Mike, pictured with general manager Nick was a keen footballer until a few years ago and still plays cricket on a regular basis. He also complements the collective golf handicap of the dealership and although not a scratch golfer like two of his compatriots at Lightcliffe he is nevertheless a single figures handicap golfer.  

 

Mike grew up in Cleveleys and like any good grandfather loves spending time with his grandchildren and going off for the weekend with family in his campervan. He is also tenuously linked to the popular discount store B&M Bargains as the business was started in his garage in 1993, and as is always the case with this column we can tentatively hint at his footballing loyalties, namely blue and East!

 

So on behalf of all the team at Lightcliffe we wish Mike a warm welcome and look forward to working with him over the coming months and years!

Lightcliffe Skoda Warrington is a trading style of Clare James Automotive limited which is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allow Clare James Automotive Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes Volkswagen Financial Services. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to Volkswagen Financial Services, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and Volkswagen Financial Services also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms, and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
