Meet the Team - Bradley Charlesworth
Bradley joined Volvo Cars Poole as a Sales Specialist in early August 2024, transitioning into the world of car sales. Coming from a military background, Bradley made a bold career move and has embraced the challenges and excitement of the automotive industry.
A New Challenge in Car Sales
After leaving the army, Bradley knew he wanted to work in car sales. Having always been interested in cars and enjoying conversations with different people, it seemed like a natural fit. Just a few weeks after leaving the army, he secured his position at Volvo Cars Poole, diving straight into the fast-paced world of sales.
Why Volvo?
For Bradley, choosing Volvo Cars Poole was an easy decision. "Volvo is a very strong brand with a fantastic reputation," he says. "It's a luxury brand now, and the cars practically sell themselves. Everyone knows what Volvo stands for." The appeal of working with such a respected and trusted manufacturer made the opportunity too good to pass up.
The Best Part of the Job
What Bradley enjoys most about his role is the variety each day brings. "Every day is different," he explains. "I get to interact with different people, and I never know what each day will bring. I also like managing my own schedule and having control over my diary."
Working at Volvo Cars Poole has also provided Bradley with valuable training experiences, especially the ones at the Volvo Training Centre in Daventry. He appreciates the camaraderie of his team and the enjoyable atmosphere at work. "We have a great team here, and we have a laugh every day," he says.
Bradley’s Favourite Volvo
When it comes to his favourite Volvo model, Bradley’s choice stands out from the crowd. "I'd say the Volvo V90 Ultra. We sell a lot of SUVs, and I think the estate models are a nice change. The Volvo V90 is different, it's sporty, lower to the ground, and still quick."
Looking Ahead
For now, Bradley is focused on establishing himself as a key member of the Volvo Cars Poole team. "I just want to cement myself here and keep improving, hitting my targets, and selling more cars each month."
Beyond the Showroom
Outside of work, Bradley has a passion for skiing, something he has been doing for over 20 years. "I’d love to do a ski season at some point if I ever get the time," he shares.
Bradley’s journey from the army to car sales is a testament to his adaptability and enthusiasm for taking on new challenges. If you’re visiting Volvo Cars Poole, be sure to say hello—he’ll be happy to help you find the perfect Volvo for your needs!
