Testimonials

I have worked with David on two business purchases over the last twelve months. With both 2 and 4 wheel automotive interests we have built a strong and trusted relationship. As Completely Motoring Group continues to grow please make contact with David if you have a Motorcycle group and you are interested in selling. I can give no stronger recommendation, a gentleman and very well connected.

It is a pleasure for me to recommend David Manchester of Automotive Assets. David has successfully sold Cheltenham’s oldest family run Car Dealership, John Wilkins Cars. This was a complex share sale which involved a property demerger. David’s in depth knowledge of the Industry, personal contacts, professionalism and personal dedication to the project was impressive. He made himself available for every meeting in person and kept me informed of his progress at every stage of the process with weekly updates. His communication and negotiation skills were impressive. Once David was engaged, our confidence in a successful outcome was assured.

We engaged David when we made the decision to sell our dealership property and exit the industry. From the outset David was able to offer relevant advice and guidance backed up by his extensive knowledge of the industry. He introduced the buyers of our property and controlled the negotiation process to ensure we achieved our aspirations. His step by step explanation at each stage of the process has meant that we have had confidence during what could otherwise have been an uncertain time. At all times David has been totally discrete when dealing with colleagues and manufacturers. We would highly recommend David to anybody considering options for their business within the motor industry.

We engaged David to work on our behalf when we decided to sell our Francised Dealership. His experience in the automotive industry proved to be invaluable and we found him to be discreet, well organised and professional. He is particularly skilled at dealing with the manufacturers and keeping all parties “on schedule”.

I have got to know David in the last five years and more recently have worked alongside him on the Motoring Committee of the Royal Automobile Club. David’s extensive knowledge not only of the automotive industry but within motorsport circles has helped the Club to develop its relationships with automotive manufacturers in the UK and assisted our development of the Club’s strategic motoring programme.

I first met David when we started our Sales careers in Aldershot in 1982, David with Peugeot & myself with Vauxhall, there was always a very professional but intense rivalry between us as we both wanted to be the best. By chance after many years in 2010 we met again at a Main Dealer conference & since have become good friends, David is always there for you with good solid advice & I can’t thank him enough for his Mentorship & support over the past 5 years.

I first met David when I was working for Vauxhall as B2B Area Sales Coordinator.  He instantly came across as a well organized and professional person within his field and later I was given the opportunity of becoming an employee of David as his Corporate Sales Manager at his Vauxhall dealership in Camberley.  This was not an easy move for me as I came from a very limited sales and a large manufacturing background. However David’s explanation into the business and his impeccable attention to detail alongside his professional approach, soon gave me the confidence and experience of dealership life. I have used and still using the knowledge gained from the dealership in Camberley in my previous and present roles. I am sure if you meet David in any capacity you would agree he is very Professional/Precise/friendly and most of all a Gentleman. I give him all my thanks
