Sales Operation Administrator

Ashford, Kent
Interpersonnel UK Ltd

Sales Operations Administrator, Great Chart

About Us

Established in 1790, Haynes Bros Ltd is the holding company for a group of subsidiary companies operating throughout the Southeast.

The Company was the first in Kent to take on the Ford Motor Company franchise in 1911 and then sell and distribute the complete range of Ford cars, trucks and agricultural machinery.

Today it is the only privately owned company in the UK that still distributes these range of products, albeit now with different manufacturers given Ford Motor Company’s departure from the truck and agricultural sectors. In addition to its Ford vehicle franchises, its other key franchises include Iveco, New Holland, Case IH and JCB.
