ADRIAN HARDING
WESTAR TRUCK CENTRE

People may think we just sell trucks but in reality, a dealership has so many moving parts. There’s sales, parts, service, workshop, fleet, finance, delivery, operations, marketing so there are so many opportunities for you.
If you have the right baseline, skills are transferable in automotive and we will support you to achieve your goals.
I highly recommend doing an apprenticeship if you want a career in the automotive industry.

NARELLE ELLIS
PATTERSON CHENEY

I wanted to try something different which is why I signed up to be a light vehicle adult apprentice.
What I found was, how supportive and willing Patterson Cheney were to help me up-skill. There are numerous pathways and programs on offer for sales, parts and service.
I loved my 2 years working as a technician and continuing on my journey as a parts interpreter.
