Meet the Team – Jordan Field

It's National Apprenticeship Week, so we took the opportunity to speak to Jordan about his experience since joining us as an apprentice in 2018.

When did you begin your apprenticeship with Poole Audi?

I began my three-year apprenticeship with Poole Audi in September 2018 as a Service Technician. I was always very interested in the idea of doing an apprenticeship. Earning money whilst learning and working in a different environment to a classroom were two very important factors for me.

What’s your current job role?  

After qualifying as a Service Technician in March 2022, I decided that I would like to gain some experience in a different area of the business and move across to the sales team. My apprenticeship was the perfect way to establish myself within the business and it allowed me to consider what area I wanted to focus my career on. I now have a few months left as a trainee, and I will then be a fully qualified Sales Specialist.

What’s been your favourite experience so far?

My favourite part of this whole experience has been how rewarding and useful my apprenticeship was. Now that I’ve moved roles, I have so much technical knowledge that I’ve gained from doing the apprenticeship that has really given me a head start in the sales environment.

What do you like most about your job role?

Meeting new customers and promoting the Audi brand is my favourite part of the job. I’ve always loved Audi as a company and spending my working day talking about a brand that I’m very passionate about is really rewarding. Every day is different and brings a fresh challenge.  

Why Poole Audi?

Poole Audi is a great company to work for. They offer you a lot of support as an employee and have encouraged me to find the right career path. My colleagues are great, we all work well as a team and have a good working environment.   

What are the future goals in your career?

Once I’m a fully qualified Sales Specialist, I’d like to do an Audi Sport accreditation so that I can specialise in S, RS, and R8 models. I also plan to do an electric vehicle (EV) specialist qualification.

What is your favourite Audi and why?

When it comes to Audi, I have a few favourites. The RS 4 B5, RS e-tron GT or an RS 6 Avant, and I’m all about the bright colours!

Would you recommend an apprenticeship with Poole Audi?

Yes abolsutely! The support and facilities at Poole Audi are fantastic! I’ve been able to learn on the job and be paid at the same time. I’ve made some great friendships along the way and I am very excited for my future.

Tell us something interesting about yourself?

I have always had a passion for motorsport and cars. I believe it was always likely that I’d end up working within the automotive industry.

Ocean Automotive Limited trading as Poole Audi is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Ocean Automotive Limited trading as Poole Audi to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes Volkswagen Financial Services UK. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to Volkswagen Financial Services UK, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives and which you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and Volkswagen Financial Services UK may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.

At the end of the agreement there are three options: i) retain the vehicle: pay the optional final payment to own the vehicle; ii) return the vehicle; or iii) replace: part exchange the vehicle, finance subject to status.
