Robert Edwards

I am a friendly and driven automotive professional with over 18 years of experience in the motor trade, including extensive technical expertise and leadership within the Mercedes-Benz network. Starting as a Maintenance Technician progressing to Diagnostic/Master Technician & Workshop Team Leader to my current role as Workshop manager at Mercedes-Benz of Stratford. I have developed a strong foundation in vehicle fault diagnosis, technical repairs, maintenance, customer service and more recently leadership while being responsible for a team that has grown to 27.

Known for my approachable leadership style, problem-solving ability, and commitment to teamwork, I take pride in motivating our team to deliver high-quality service and ensuring customer satisfaction. I am motivated by opportunities that challenge me as I believe that being pushed beyond my comfort zone is essential for personal and professional growth. I enjoy learning new skills, taking on new responsibilities, and continuously improving through experience and feedback.

I am seeking a role where I can contribute my strengths while being challenged to develop further, expand my knowledge, and achieve new goals. I feel this opportunity would enable me to combine my technical background with a passion for people and performance.
