Meet the Team - Roddy - Audi Sport Specialist

At Poole Audi, our team is driven by expertise, passion, and dedication - and no one embodies that more than Roddy, our Audi Sport Specialist. With eight years at Poole Audi, Roddy has become a trusted name for customers looking for their perfect Audi.

From Trainee to Senior Specialist

Roddy joined Poole Audi in April 2018, “I started as a trainee, learning everything about the showroom and supporting the team,” he recalls. After just a year, he transitioned into a sales specialist role, and he hasn’t looked back since. Last year, Roddy achieved an impressive 258 car sales, showcasing his dedication and expertise.

Taking on More Responsibility with Audi Connect

Recently taking additional responsibilities, Roddy’s role focuses on Audi Connect, ensuring every customer maximises the digital and online services available in their Audi. This role not only supports the service team but also helps maintain strong long-term customer relationships.

Skills, Expertise, and Motivation

Roddy credits his success to his love of connecting with people, strong organisational skills, and a relentless drive to improve. “It’s about giving customers the best experience possible,” he explains. “Whether they buy an Audi or not, we want them to leave happy and confident, ready to recommend Poole Audi to others.” His personal motivation? “Being the best, achieving my full potential and going above and beyond wherever I can.”

The Rewarding Moments

For Roddy, nothing beats the excitement of handing over the keys to a customer. “Seeing someone’s face when they get into their new Audi is priceless. Whether it’s their first Audi or an upgrade, that moment makes all the hard work worthwhile.”

Advice for Audi Buyers

Roddy’s top tip for anyone choosing an Audi is to fully explore all options. “Discuss the car models, funding options, and features available. That way, customers leave with the right Audi for their lifestyle and budget, whether that’s an Audi A1, Audi Q3, Audi Q5, or Audi RS Q8 Performance.”

Why Poole Audi Stands Out

“What makes Poole Audi different is the people,” says Roddy. “Every team member genuinely cares about the customer experience. Plus, our extra services, like our driving service and vehicle care, ensure buying an Audi is about more than just the car; it’s the complete experience.”

Roddy’s Favourite Audi Model

Roddy’s personal favourite is the Audi RS Q8 Performance. “I love an SUV with a higher driving position, but I also want performance.”

Fun Fact

Away from work, Roddy enjoys golf, which gives him a chance to relax and recharge outside the fast-paced world of automotive sales.

With his expertise, dedication, and passion for Audi, Roddy continues to help customers find the perfect car while providing an exceptional experience at Poole Audi.

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.

If you default on your finance payments, then the vehicle may be repossessed by the finance provider. You must be 18 years or older to apply for finance. Finance is not guaranteed, and any finance application is subject to a credit check and individual circumstances. If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us.
