Kia UK Leadership Team Visits Roadside as Exciting New Chapter Begins
Roadside was delighted to welcome Kia UK’s recently appointed Sales Director, David Hilbert, to our Coleraine dealership this week, alongside Kia’s Area Manager North, Daniel Kirkham, and our Regional Business Manager, Emma Canmore.
The visit provided an opportunity for David to meet the Roadside team, learn more about our business and experience first-hand the people and culture behind one of Northern Ireland’s leading Kia dealerships.
As a family-owned business with over 40 years of history, Roadside has always believed that our people are what make the difference. From our sales and customer care teams to our workshop and aftersales departments, the commitment, teamwork and genuine care shown every day are at the heart of everything we do.
During his visit, David recognised the strong sense of pride, teamwork and togetherness across the dealership — something that the entire Team Roadside is incredibly proud of.
David commented: “Thank you for welcoming me and the team to your Dealership. It was great to meet the entire team and also feel the very strong sense of teamwork and pride working for Roadside. From my side I always like to meet all team members to show appreciation for their collective efforts.”
Looking ahead with Kia
David brings a wealth of experience to his new role as Kia UK Sales Director, having previously spent over four years as Marketing Director for Kia Europe.
His extensive knowledge of the Kia brand, combined with his enthusiasm for the future of the business, made it a fantastic opportunity for the Roadside team to hear about the exciting developments ahead for Kia and its dealer network.
With an award-winning product range, continued growth in electrification and the introduction of Kia PBV (Platform Beyond Vehicle), the automotive industry is entering an exciting new era.
As one of Kia’s appointed dealers in Northern Ireland and an authorised Kia PBV Centre, Roadside is proud to be part of this journey and looks forward to continuing to support customers with innovative new vehicles, outstanding service and the personal approach that has defined the business for more than four decades.
Proud of Team Roadside
Visits like this are a great reminder that the success of any dealership comes down to its people.
Every day, Team Roadside works together to deliver the friendly, professional customer experience that our customers know and trust — whether they are purchasing a new Kia, choosing a Preloved vehicle, bringing their car in for servicing, or exploring the latest Kia electric and PBV models.
A huge thank you to David, Daniel and Emma for taking the time to visit us. We know how busy your schedules are and we really appreciate you spending time with our team.
And finally, thank you to every member of Team Roadside. Your passion, commitment and pride in what you do are what continue to make Roadside a special place to work and visit.
Here’s to an exciting future together with Kia.
