Testimonials

'I have known Jon Head since 2002 when we first worked at Inchcape together. Jon was the Sales Director of Inchcape’s Mercedes division, which covered 19 Mercedes and Smart operations across the UK. During this period, the division enjoyed fantastic success, including three market areas achieving 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in customer satisfaction in the UK, the best Return on Sales (ROS) in the network, and being named Dealer Group of the Year.

Jon and I then worked together briefly at Ridgeway before I joined Marshall in 2008. Marshall’s 2016 acquisition of Ridgeway saw us reunited, and the success at Marshall is well documented. Given my 20+ years of knowing Jon and my experience working with him in three companies, I am well-placed to comment on his abilities. He is a first-class operator who is detail-focused, and I would have no hesitation in recommending him'

'I had the joy of working closely with Jon for 8 years at Ridgeway, in his role as Group Operations Director. The role covered key operational responsibilities from budgeting, forecasting, driving and delivering results. 

He was also responsible for helping with the strategic direction of the group, including managing key stakeholder relationships, agreeing key property initiatives and appointments, improving our procurement and marketing functions. 

Jon demonstrated incredible drive, determination and a high level of commercial skill. I have no doubt that he was pivotal to the successful growth and eventual sale of the group. 

On a personal level, Jon approaches even the most challenging situations with a professional and "can-do" attitude. I value the time I spent with Jon and have no hesitation in recommending Jon in this new initiative'
