Group Operations Director

Steve’s experience is only matched by his enthusiasm for the motor trade. Having worked in sales and management for Nissan, Suzuki and Daihatsu as well as SAAB and Honda before being appointed Group Sales Director for the Robert Bowett Group, few people in the industry can match his experience. Before joining West Riding Motor Group Steve was responsible for three Volvo dealerships at the Harratts Group.
