We are a successful family-owned vehicle rental company, looking for motivated individuals to join our Management Programme. Designed to fast-track your development, this exciting opportunity will provide the skills, experience and support needed to progress into running your own branch.

This isn’t just a job – it’s the start of a long-term career where you’ll learn every aspect of the business, take on real responsibility from day one, and make a genuine impact within a growing organisation.

You will gain hands-on experience across all areas of branch management, developing the operational, commercial and leadership skills required to become a successful Branch Manager.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Monitoring vehicle availability, fleet condition and vehicle turnaround times
  • Building long-term customer relationships and identifying opportunities to generate new business leads
  • Driving sales performance and promoting additional products and services
  • Delivering exceptional face-to-face customer service in a fast-paced environment
  • Developing an understanding of branch performance, profitability and commercial decision-making
  • Taking on increasing levels of responsibility as part of your management development journey

Training and Development:

  • Structured onboarding programme covering vehicle rental operations
  • Shadowing and learning from experienced Branch Managers
  • Commercial awareness and fleet management training
  • Leadership and people management development programme
  • Regular performance review, coaching and feedback
  • Step-by-step increase in responsibility and autonomy
  • Clear progression pathway towards full Branch Manager role

Requirements

What We’re Looking For:

  • Experience leading in a fast-paced, customer-facing setting (such as retail, food retail, hospitality or a similar environment preferred)
  • Confidence interacting with customers and colleagues at all levels and building strong working relationships
  • Ambition to build long-term management career
  • A positive, energetic and proactive attitude
  • Sales-focused experience leading and growing a team is a plus
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and email
  • Full UK driving licence
  • Eligible to work in the UK
  • GCSE qualifications are a plus

Benefits

What We Offer:

  • Full training programme – no vehicle rental experience required
  • Structured management development pathway
  • Real responsibility and hands-on experience from the start
  • Ongoing support from an experienced and close-knit team
  • Staff Benefits
