Marshall Motors Wishes Sarah a very happy Retirement

Today is a big day in the history of Marshall Motors and an even bigger day for Sarah.

Today marks the end of Sarah’s time with Marshall Motors as she is retiring today and can spend some valuable time relaxing and spending time with her family and friends.

Sarah who has been at the garage for many years and was part of the team that Darren and Mark had when they purchased the garage nearly a decade ago.

Darren said “Sarah has been a valuable member of the team for the time we have owned the garage and for the time before whilst working for the previous owners.
Personally I would like to say thank you to Sarah for all the help and guidance she has given Mark and Myself over the time we have owned Marshall Motors.
I wish Sarah a very happy retirement and hopefully we will still see Sarah popping in for a coffee and a catch up. Don’t be a stranger.

Mark said “Sarah has been the face that people first see when they visit Marshall Motors and over her career with us and the previous owners has built up a rapport with lots of the customers. Sarah has been a great help to Darren, myself and all the team over a number of years and I wish her a very happy retirement and hope we will still continue to see Sarah visiting the garage.
Enjoy your retirement Sarah!
