Stuart Godwin

Motivated Car Valeter with over 20 years of experience, recognised for assessing operational needs and developing solutions to save costs, improve revenues, and drive customer satisfaction. Resourceful and well-organised with excellent leadership and team-building record. I have worked with Spirit Hyundai over 20 years and in that time have never had a day of work due to illness.

During this time I have enjoyed this fast paced work but feel now at the age of 49 years I am ready to begin a new exciting challenge. That could take me up to retirement. Over the years of my employment I have worked and met with people from all different backgrounds and nationalities and have gained a vast range of knowledge from these people.

I'm looking forward to new challenges and continuing living life to the full and learning new skills.
