“We have an extremely excited and motivated team responsible for the day-to-day running of the business,” he told Dealerfloor. “They have already adopted the moniker of Team Morgan at your service, which is a positive sign in terms of motivated employees,” Morgan said.
The team in Lydenburg will be led by the able and experienced Adelene le Roux, Dealer Principal, and Jonathan Gibbley, After-sales Manager.
The new acquisition continues Morgan’s philosophy of establishing his businesses mainly in rural areas where customer service and relationships are pivotal to success.
