loginJob Description
Eagers Automotive has a long and proud history operating within the Australian automotive industry for over 100 years. The Company has shown resilience and innovation throughout the ever-changing automotive landscape while being true to its heritage. The recent acquisition of Automotive Holdings Group (AHG), has moved the business into a position of opportunity to further distance itself from competitors and ensured its position as the number one listed automotive retail group in the country. With a focus on optimisation of business and delivering an enhanced customer experience, recent highlights include new vehicle market share growth and stronger truck retailing performance, despite COVID-impacted trading, demonstrating the strength of their national footprint. Notwithstanding the external environment, the Group remains firmly focused on their ‘Next100 Strategy’ which is aimed at delivering superior customer experience from a more sustainable and productive cost base. They recognise success depends on their people, so they strive to be a great company to work for and a business people want to be part of.
