Kia dealer NK Motors said this week it is “closing in” on its £100mn turnover target after a surge in recruitment driven by new youth investment.
NK Motors Group, which operates across Long Eaton, Chilwell and Derby Pride Park, has taken on 10 new staff and apprentices in the past six months.
The new hires include a social media brand manager, a sales executive, an accountant, valet staff and a group sales administrator, alongside two apprentices from the Kia Apprenticeship Academy in Derby. The business now employs seven apprentices in total.
Employing around 120 people NK Motors group has doubled its turnover over the past decade.
Managing Director Sanj Kumar said the company’s success is driven by both the strength of Kia’s vehicle range and its continued investment in people.
He said: “The business has continued to expand its apprenticeship programme and wider team as it builds towards its ambitious growth plans. We always say that our apprentices and young people are a vital part of this journey.”
NK Motors is ranked 156 in the Motor Trader Top 200 Dealer Groups with annual turnover of £71m.
