SMA breaks record

July 29th, 2009 by Richard Aucock

sma-breaks-record-in-a-week1SMA Leeds set a company-best record for weekly sales – then, the very next week, broke it again!

The latest total has seen 1204 cars sold in seven days. What’s more, the numbers keep rising.

It comes just 6 months into the new stewardship of owners Bob Anderson and Kevin Bann. They’d set a long-term goal of achieving 1200 sales in five working days… but didn’t think it would happen so quickly.

Indeed, just before Christmas, SMA employees were facing redundancy.

‘On December 23, 140 people working here at Leeds were staring at an uncertain future, due to circumstances beyond their control,’ said Anderson.

‘Fortunately we managed to acquire the business. We undertook a strategy to keep everyone employed and, as this landmark achievement has proved, that was the right decision for all.

‘Our sights are now firmly set on breaking the 1,500 mark.’

He’s confident of achieving it soon, too: because of SMA’s level of service and commitment to both vendors and buyers.

We’ll be watching progress here closely, to see when the next magic goalpost is reached…
