Adele Weston

As a Multibrand Key Account Manager at Group 1, Adele’s role is all about building long-term relationships, managing diverse customer needs and driving forward the transition to electric fleets.  

“Once the customer’s cars are delivered, that doesn’t mean the work stops. Working in fleet is all about patience - building those lasting relationships with customers who can rely on you to deliver for them.  

I really enjoy working with Group 1’s diverse range of brands - this gives me that extra edge with customers, as I can really dive into what their needs are and meet them with a service they are happy with.” 

Destined for the motor trade… 

“I didn’t really enjoy school - I liked seeing my friends, playing with makeup and trying on clothes instead! I had no idea what I wanted to do, so I ended up following a friend to my local college to do a health and social care course. I quickly realised this isn’t where I wanted to work, however it showed me my passion for people.” 

Adele secured a job as a receptionist for a car finance broker, where she was quickly inspired by young professionals who were thriving in sales, and wanted to give it a try.  

She transitioned into finance sales, then into dealership work at VW Macclesfield, and then worked for 10 years in fleet sales at Ford with Pendragon. 

“My career journey has definitely not been smooth – with becoming a mother to three boys, transitioning into lots of roles and travelling across the country for roles, but one thing always stayed consistent, and that is my love for the motor trade. I joined Inchcape nine years ago, transitioned with my colleagues into Group 1 and I’m proud of where I am today, as an ambassador for both Group 1 and fleet sales.”
