Started in 2013, we began with a simple goal: How could we improve the experience of acquiring a new vehicle? Over the years we have evolved our offering to be focused on car leasing for professionals. We specialise in bringing first class service to busy professionals, removing the associated hassle and time buying a new car normally brings.
We’re continuing to build a technology-led, but ultimately human-inspired business, meaning our sales and service experience is second to none. We’re ambitious about the 2020s, and believe we have the foundations in place to rapidly scale up in the coming years.
Over the next 3 years, we’re set to develop and deliver an entirely new online journey for clients, centred around the personal, expert client experience we have become known for. We will retain this human approach, while developing an unrivalled digital experience for clients, harnessing our expertise for the professional markets we serve.
Our belief is clients shouldn’t have to choose between a single-brand, outdated dealership experience, or an impersonal, low-skilled call centre for one of the most important, and expensive, choices they will make for their family. What is more, the shift to electric vehicles means our advice-led, transparent approach to vehicle provision is needed now, more than ever, as we support and encourage clients to embrace the new world of battery electric vehicles, ahead of the ban of combustion engines in 2030.
We pride ourselves on challenging the long-standing car industry status quo.
Act with empathy. Whether this be “Think Like a Customer” or the supportive internal culture we adopt.
A strong focus on continual improvement and excellence.
You’ll be competitively minded, with the humility to grow and develop. You will love a fast-paced creative environment, where Freedom and Responsibility is the climate we operate in.
You’ll be compassionate and empathetic, but not shy away from confronting brutal facts in relationships and adverse situations.
We compare a lot of our cultural environment to being on great sports teams. If you’ve experienced the thrill of high achievement amongst a peer group of A Players, then you’ll know what it feels like to work with Pike + Bambridge.
Pike + Bambridge’s growth has been built on excellent client service, and long-standing relationships. We separate lead generation in to two distinct areas; direct and indirect leads. Whilst our indirect leads continue to grow, it is the direct leads the Head of Marketing will be focused on, bringing a rapid scaling up of the direct lead generation over the next 3 years. We are very clear about the market sectors we wish to target, the world of qualified professionals, and we focus on 7 core sectors those professionals work in:
• Law
• Accounting
• Financial Services
• Property
• Medical
• Insurance
• HR & Recruitment
We have a long-standing partnership with 2 organisations who assist us in reaching these clients, the Law Society of Scotland, and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS). As the official vehicle partner for both, they have a commitment to marketing to their members on our behalf. This is an almost untapped resource at P+B, as we have not had the resource to mine this sufficiently. Our plan is to mirror these relationships with their English equivalents, as well as develop further partnerships with the likes of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and others.
We also historically partnered with the Professional Footballers Association of Scotland and have a thriving Sport Division part of our business, meaning the marketing team have access to some fantastic long-standing brand ambassadors with significant media reach.
The role involves four main areas of specialism:
Create multi-channel lead generation campaigns for new car leasing. Develop content strategy and advertising strategy to market well-priced offers we know are competitive to our target market.
Supporting Senior Management Team and Board in developing external brand for various stakeholders including corporate scheme clients, recruitment, investors and others. Support board-level strategic goals in developing and improving PR around the business, both in terms of online presence, as well as offline.
Support of Business Development team on branded collateral, events, PR and Awards. Work with sales functions to develop 3 year plan around marketing support for BD work, with particular focus on Managed Professional Schemes development and existing client referral schemes.
Recruit, train and manage a team, with likely focus being an events specialist, as well as a social media specialist, whether external or internal.
At Pike + Bambridge, we pride ourselves on selecting the very best team members we can find for every role we recruit. On top of this, we offer incredibly detailed training to each and every team member who joins us.
All team members go through over 255 hours of training in year one, and are encouraged to take part in both personal and professional development, in the business as well as through external training programmes, often selected by the team member.
This focus on training distinguishes us from many of our peers, with the industry traditionally experiencing high staff turnover, both through the dealership network, as well as through online ‘call-centre’ leasing brokers.
We have a range of employee benefits including:
