Recruit, Develop and Retain Talent

MatthewBradwick

I trained as a mechanic in a small independent garage in my teens. Toyota Aberdare has been my rst experience of a larger Franchised Dealership and I’ve recently been promoted to Workshop Foreman. In the beginning I was quite daunted by the thought of committing to the level of study required to sit the Toyota exams but I was encouraged to persevere at a pace that suited me. It has been challenging to t around family and day to day work commitments but I’m pleased that I stuck with it and have completed the quali cations. Vehicle mechanics is changing, we all need to keep pace.

I started at Gerry Hill’s in 2015 having worked in an accountancy practice for 13 years. At rst it was a steep learning curve adapting to running accounts in ‘real time’ as an industry Accountant, however I was supported in the transition by the company employing a Toyota experienced Management Consultant who mentored me though the rst 12 months. Any courses, Continued Professional Development and training have always been supported and funded.

I initially completed a work experience placement at Toyota Aberdare and then started employment with the company in 2019 as an Apprentice Technician having le my previous career as a call centre manager. Since joining, I have been encouraged to complete the Toyota Technician Training quali cations up to Diagnostic level and am currently studying for my Master Technician accreditation. I’ve also completed my MoT licence, all fully funded and supported by Gerry Hill Toyota.
