We are delighted to announce that our parts supervisor, Martin Williams, completed his 30th year of service on Wednesday.
Martin joined us in 1989 at the age of 30, recruited to the role of Senior Parts Person, under our parts supervisor Ian Essex. At the time our managing director was still our founder - Michael Roberts, and Trident Honda was an Austin Rover main dealer selling Austin Metro, Maestro, Montego, Rover 200 (based on the Honda Ballade) and the new Rover 800 (based on the Honda Legend). Trident Honda had celebrated its 25th anniversary in the previous year.
My interview was with MR (Michael Roberts) and afterwards he brought me down and introduced me to Ian. Ian and myself were very similar in attitude and outlook and we got on straight from the start.
Martin recollects his first day:

I joined my last position as sales executive for Honda in 2015. I enjoy working in the motor trade, it's more about people than you might imagine - doing the right job and matching people to the right car. I decided to apply to join Trident Honda, because of their reputation in both service and sales aspects, and their clear Company mantra of Customer First!

Following the redevelopment of its showroom, Trident Honda has now installed a fully automatic defibrillator in its customer reception area, for the protection of its staff and customers.
Richard Roberts, managing director of Trident Honda, explains:
Whilst we have never experienced a cardiac arrest on our premises in our 55 years of trading, nevertheless it would seem 'heartless' to forego this simple and affordable protection for our staff and customers. It is very unusual in business to purchase an item in the hope that it will never be used, but it is very reassuring to know that, should the worst should happen, we have the equipment to potentially save a life.
