Van Mossel Esplanade is marking a historic milestone for employee Nigel Smith, a cornerstone of the dealership’s operations, who is celebrating an incredible 50 years of service with the company.
Nigel, the former Manager of the former Esplanade Car Rental and Accident Repair Centre in Ryde, technically ‘retired’ 2 years ago, but his commitment to the team has never wavered.
Transitioning into a support role, Nigel remains an essential part of the daily operations at Van Mossel Esplanade.
Over the past 5 decades, Nigel has become a familiar face to colleagues and customers alike. In his current capacity, he assists by delivering vehicles to customers across the UK, often at short notice. He also helps take care of onsite maintenance at the Cowes showroom, ensuring the grounds remain in pristine condition.
Brendan Cole, Head of Business, says:
“Nigel is a truly valued and much-loved member of the Van Mossel Esplanade family.
“Reaching a 50-year milestone is a phenomenal achievement, but the fact that he continues to contribute his expertise to our team makes this celebration even more special.”
