Meet Joe Strevett at SLM Toyota Hastings

At SLM Toyota it is always exciting to welcome a new team member into the SLM family and we look forwards to working with Joe.

Joe had this to say:

'I decided to apply for the Trainee Sales Executive position at SLM Toyota as I think it is an amazing career and will be full of exciting opportunities.

SLM Toyota are pleased to welcome Dave and Zara to the Hastings team as they are both great assets to the company with their friendly, personable natures.

Dave, joining the team as a Service Collection & Delivery Driver, had this to say:

'I retired from the police force after 28 years of service, however I quickly found out that full time retirement just wasn't for me.

Here at SLM we recently visited the new Sara Lee Trust Therapy Centre in Sidley to see its progress and also present them with a cheque for our latest donation of £1,125.

We are supporting the development of the build and they kindly invited us down to see the progress so far. Ian Wakeford, MD, Mark Phillips, Director and Mel Ball, Marketing Manager were shown around by Maria Gonet, Fundraising Manager, along with Michael Lear, Business Ambassador and Dan Redsull, Chief Executive Officer.

SLM Toyota have had their first customer take on the Hybrid Test Drive Challenge

Here at SLM Toyota we are pleased to say we have had our first customer take on our Hybrid Test Drive Challenge.

Mr Tony Ellis currently drives the Toyota Avensis Diesel Manual but wanted to take on the challenge and see what hybrid driving is like. He achieved an impressive 63.8MPG and 38% electric drive on our designated test drive route. He will now have to wait and see whether anyone can beat his score!

SLM Toyota Hastings has generously donated 1,330 school vouchers to St Michael's C of E Primary School, Playden in Rye.

All of the staff at the Hastings dealership have been collecting the vouchers so they could help a local school, so we would like to say a big thank you to everyone who kindly made the effort.

The school are delighted with the donation, as this has doubled the amount they now have. They are planning on spending the vouchers on new sports equipment for the pupils.

SLM Toyota's Sales Executive Stewart Holter has reached his 250th sale.

Paul Tilbury-Davis, a local train guard, enjoyed 'First Class' service from Stewart and commented that the whole process of buying the vehicle was "quick, easy and stress-free." Keen to get behind the wheel of his new GT86 2.0M Aero model, Paul also told us how pleased he was with his first purchase from SLM.
