Tom Beazley has been promoted to the role of Retail Area Manager after serving as a centre manager at ETB’s Exeter branch in Marsh Barton.
The 32-year-old, who has been working in the fast fit industry since the age of 16, has taken on the position after playing an instrumental role in the sustained success at the Exeter depot over the past three years.
He will now be a point of contact for centres in Plymouth, Bridport, Bude, Taunton, Exeter and Launceston, assisting them with their daily outputs and providing regular support to improve performance.
He said: “I’ve been a technician, assistant manager, centre manager and just about every other job in between, so I know the challenges and opportunities that each centre has.
“The fast fit industry is all I’ve ever known, having come straight into the profession from school. I’m confident that I can make a real difference to each depot, both proactively and reactively and I’m really looking forward to the challenge.”
Tom will make regular site visits, support with stock checks, recruitment and new equipment, as well as providing insights into online and in-store sales opportunities.
Customers can also expect the personable first impression in-store, with a seamless online purchasing experience also offered. Meanwhile, a comprehensive fleet maintenance service will also be promoted with local businesses.
He added: “I love the fact that no two days are the same here and that each depot has its own bespoke needs and requirements. I’m here to provide an indispensable level of support to each one, whilst hoping to build on the feel good factor that’s already in place.”
ETB Autocentres’ Retail Director Paul Nunn said: “Tom has been with us since we acquired our Exeter depot in 2021 and we were immediately struck by his passion and willingness to go the extra mile for his colleagues and customers.
“He is a great example of where a career can lead with ETB, as we recognise top performers internally and aim to put them on a pathway with us to achieve great things, wherever possible.”
