About Eden Motor Group
Eden was launched in January 2008 as a joint venture between Graeme Potts and Vauxhall Motors. Since then, we have established ourselves as one of the most successful and progressive motor groups in the UK. Whilst still maintaining our affinity with the Vauxhall brand, in recent times we have grown the business and incorporated other franchises.
In a short space of time the Eden name has become well recognised and respected in the communities in which we operate, having developed a culture which is demonstrably different from every other motor retailer. The way we conduct business at Eden is in an informal but professional manner. We strongly believe in doing what we say we will, being honest, straightforward and transparent. We aim to give our colleagues and customers the very best aspects of a large company, whilst maintaining the personal feel of a small company.
We are always striving to be Better (this is a word you will hear a lot at Eden!). Better than the competition, Better than our customers expect, Better for our colleagues and Better today than we were yesterday. When Graeme first set up Eden, he wanted to create a brand which communicated the message of a Better World, which is one of the reasons he chose Eden as the company name. In addition to this, the Eden logo epitomises the motorist’s ideal of a Better World; showing a small, eco-friendly, economical car on a congestion free road with the sunrise in the background.
The Better World isn’t just reserved for our customers. Eden colleagues are key to maintaining and growing a successful business and as such, we will continue to invest in motivating, communicating, developing and fairly rewarding our colleagues.

Working within sales at Eden is about more than selling, we are looking for people who love talking to customers and building lasting relationships. Buying a new or used vehicle should be a pleasurable experience and we look for colleagues who can make customers feel welcome and at ease in our dealerships, engender trust and make that customer want to come back to us time and time again. We offer manufacturer-based training as well as having a dedicated in-house training department which will coach and develop all sales colleagues and, if you so wish, help you with your career development at Eden.
Apprenticeship OpportunitiesDo you have a passion for cars and want to earn as you learn? If so, an apprenticeship could be the ideal position for you!
An apprenticeship allows you the chance to learn valuable skills as well as experience whilst you work your way through an accredited training programme. You’ll learn in the working environment, develop practical ‘hands-on’ skills whilst training and have time off the job with a training provider. All this gives you a great opportunity to gain a valuable professional qualification. We have opportunities with the majority of our business areas, so if you are ambitious and have a desire to learn, this could be the ideal starting point for your career in the motor retail sector.

Whether you are in a front of house role, responsible for managing our customers’ Eden experience or a technical role diagnosing and repairing vehicles, our aftersales departments are essential to Eden’s success. We are very proud to have award-winning technical colleagues as part of our team as well as friendly and helpful customer-facing colleagues who make our customers’ Eden experience an enjoyable one. We ensure that our Technicians have the best equipment possible, are trained in the latest motor vehicle technology and have all the support they need to carry out our customers’ requests.
Central Services OpportunitiesAs Eden has grown over the years, our central services team has increased to support our dealership functions. Whether it is customer care, IT, logistics, marketing, finance or administration, we have a lot of colleagues supporting and helping with the smooth running of our operational teams. We also have dedicated teams for our sales, service and parts departments handling our digital enquiries. No matter where your skills and experience lie, there are plenty of opportunities within our central service teams.
