USED car sales executive Pete Brampton has just gone in for a 30 years service.

The 53-years-old from Bromsgrove has been presented with an award for three decades working for Bristol Street Motors

Mr Brampton joined the company in 1984, starting work at the original dealership in Birmingham before moving to Worcester in 2009. He estimates in that time he has sold more than 6,000 cars, a success he attributes to "delivering the best customer service and a sense of humour".

He added: "I have seen changes over the last 30 years but have always enjoyed my role, have worked with some fantastic colleagues and met many satisfied customers. Bristol Street Motors is a great company to work for, which is demonstrated by the number of colleagues who have been here for many years, and I am proud to have achieved such longevity and am looking forward to the next 30 years."

Simon Parsons, general manager at Bristol Street Motors Ford Worcester, added: “Pete embodies the company’s key values of passion, respect, professionalism, integrity and commitment. He is a popular and valued colleague and everyone was delighted to mark his 30 years service.”

When not at work Mr Brampton enjoys the outdoors, football, fishing walking and gardening and he plays guitar in two bands covering classic rock tracks and aiming to emulate his guitar hero Jimi Hendrix.
