Dear Team Members,

A TEAM MEMBER STATEMENT & ANNOUNCEMENT
Nicola Whiting Appointed to the Role of Aftersales Business Development Executive

Adrian and I are delighted to announce that Nicola Whiting has been appointed to the role of Aftersales Business Development Executive, effective from the 1st February 2025.

Nicola joined the Platinum Group in May 2023 as an experienced parts operative, working as a Senior Parts Team Member at our Trowbridge Stellantis Relay Hub (located within Platinum's Vauxhall & Citroen dealership), which currently offers parts for the Vauxhall, Citroen, Peugeot, Fiat, Abarth, Alfa Romeo, DS, Jeep, Chrysler, Leapmotor and Eurorepar brands.

As Aftersales Business Development Executive for the Platinum Group, Nicola's role will centre around the maintenance and growth of existing trade parts customer accounts, the research and development of new customer accounts in terms of trade parts supply, the research and introduction of new product lines for our parts departments to sell, the collation, creation and distribution of offers and communications in conjunction with the Marketing Team, and in time, may also encompass approaching locally based fleets with a view to bringing new business to our Service Departments.

Nicola will report directly to Adrian Layfield (Group Aftersales Manager) and will, of course, work with all Directors, Managers and Team Members who work within, or have an overlap with the Aftersales areas of the company (predominantly Parts).

She will carry into this role a deep knowledge and experience of the operation of franchise Parts Departments, together with a great enthusiasm to make the role a success.

I'm sure everyone will join Adrian and myself in wishing Nicola every success in her new role.

Yours sincerely

Jeremy & Adrian
