Andy Wilson joins Ebbon-Dacs as Sales Director

Ebbon-Dacs, technology solution suppliers to the automotive retail industry, have recruited a new Sales Director.

Andy Wilson was most recently seen working at the Audi Academy following a spell as Sales Director for an American software company. He has also worked for organisations such as Sewells.

"One of the things that most surprised me when I started working in the motor trade again was how little things had changed, technology wise. Having spent a number of years working at the highest levels in banking and retail, selling mission critical software, it was most surprising to find technology advantage being so low on the dealer agenda in the motor trade" Andy says.

"With the advent of Web 2.0 and the fact that technology adoption rates among customers are accelerating, all the evidence tells us that people will keep spending more time online. Yet many dealers are clinging grimly on for the next "version" of their current software. Not realising, in many cases, that the software they are buying is as old as the hills. Ebbon-Dacs is working closely with Microsoft and I’m looking forward to getting the message out there about the benefits of a modern solution and changing that situation over the next few years"

Rob Pilkington, Managing Director of Ebbon-Dacs, says that the Ebbon-Dacs DMS is well ahead in crucial areas of web interactivity, communications and business process functionality. He says, "We invented Leaselink some years ago and now this is the de facto solution for leasing companies and is used at hundreds of retail franchise locations. Today we have a fully developed and integrated Dealer Management System that we truly believe is the most modern and flexible on the market bar none. Andy will be a great evangelist for that message"

Andy lives in Southport, Merseyside but will be based at Ebbon Dacs Head Office in Oxford. 01865 866810
