A note from our MD
Mazda Motors UK began operations in August 2001, taking over Mazda sales and service operations from the previous independent importer. In 2001, Mazda sold around 16,000 cars in the UK and employed around 50 staff. They have since risen to 50,000 vehicles per year and brand awareness has risen from 6% to 51%. In the 2009/10 fiscal year we hope to be selling 65,000 vehicles.
Key to our success has been the development of our internal talent. All of our Senior Directors were promoted from within. I started here in 2001 as Marketing Director, was promoted to Sales Director in 2003 and then into my current role in 2005. Two former Managing Directors of Mazda Motors UK are now the President and Vice President of Sales respectively for Mazda Europe.
Effort, achievement and the desire for personal growth is rewarded with tremendous opportunity.
Driven by a 'Zoom-Zoom' ethos, this is a brand and a company that aims to be Daring, Ingenious and Fun.
Take our regular Employee Days, where we share past successes, discuss future goals and have fun letting off steam together. We've been endurance carting at Buckmore Park, sailing in Port Solent, sledging in the Snow Zone not to mention treasure hunting around London and we enjoyed a nautical challenge at Chatham Docks.
We also hold 'Zoom-Zoom' Dealer, Fleet customer and press events. Here you can see me attending one of our recent Fleet events and trying out another Zoom-Zoom mode of transport.
Our culture is represented in our achievements as an employer. Mazda UK has recently been re-accredited with Investors in People status against the tougher 2006 Standard. We are very proud of the learning and development opportunities offered to our team.
My time at Mazda UK since 2001 has been the most enjoyable and rewarding period of my career. I am so proud to work for this company.
So if you think you would like to join us and experience some of that Zoom-Zoom spirit first hand then please read on for all the information you need as a prospective employee.
We've tried to convey what Zoom-Zoom means for the people that work here. If one day you join us, I hope you'll let me know if we've been successful!
