Meet the Team – Andrew Hooper

We are delighted to introduce one of our newest members to the Yeovil Audi team, Andrew Hooper, who recently joined us as our Used Car Sales Manager.

When did you start working for Yeovil Audi?
I joined the Yeovil Audi team in January 2025 as the Used Car Sales Manager.

What is your job title?
My job title is Used Car Sales Manager.

What made you want to work for Yeovil Audi?
I’ve always admired the Audi brand from afar. Having worked with several premium competitors over the years, I was constantly impressed by the quality of the Audi vehicles we received in part exchange. I’ve even owned a few myself – two of which I purchased from Yeovil Audi many years ago. So, when the opportunity came up to join the team here, it was an easy decision.

What do you enjoy most about your job role?
Sourcing high-quality Audi vehicles and overseeing them through our rigorous 'Audi Approved' preparation process. I take pride in ensuring our customers receive the very best examples available within the Audi network.

What is great about working for Yeovil Audi?
Being part of a team that genuinely cares – not only about delivering exceptional vehicles but also about providing the best possible customer service. Everyone is committed to excellence, and that makes coming to work each day something I look forward to.

What has been the best experience you’ve had in your career so far?
Without a doubt, it’s the day-to-day experience of working alongside like-minded colleagues who share my drive for excellence. They understand my methodical approach and we all work well as a team.

When did your career in the automotive industry begin?
I started out as an Apprentice Technician in the mid-1980s at another premium vehicle dealership. A lot has changed in the automotive world since then, but the passion for the industry has always remained.

What are your future goals at Yeovil Audi?
My goal is to continue growing our used car operation and to position Yeovil Audi among the top Audi Centres nationally for both quality and variety. We price our stock competitively from the start, and thanks to the standards we uphold, customers travel from as far as Scotland to buy from us. We invest heavily in each vehicle to ensure it's the best it can be, and with our transparent pricing and Audi Approved Used promise, every customer drives away confident they’ve made a great choice.

Favourite Audi model?
It’s a tough choice with such an aspirational line-up, and while the Audi R8 or Audi RS6 are dream-worthy, I have to say the Audi Q5 is a personal favourite. It’s incredibly versatile, comfortable, and one of the best mid-sized SUV on the market today.

Tell us something interesting about you!
The motor industry can be fast-paced and full-on, so I make sure to take time out when I can. I’m a big fan of two wheels as well as four. Nothing beats heading out on my Harley with friends, enjoying the open road and a good roadside coffee. Outside of that, spending quality time with family and walking the dogs is my go-to way to unwind.

 

We are excited to have Andrew on board and can’t wait to see how his expertise and energy will continue to strengthen our team and delight our customers.

Ocean Automotive Limited trading as Yeovil Audi is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Ocean Automotive Limited trading as Yeovil Audi to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes Volkswagen Financial Services UK. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to Volkswagen Financial Services UK, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives and which you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and Volkswagen Financial Services UK may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.

At the end of the agreement there are three options: i) retain the vehicle: pay the optional final payment to own the vehicle; ii) return the vehicle; or iii) replace: part exchange the vehicle, finance subject to status. Available when purchased on Solutions Personal Contract Plan. Deposit contribution is available when purchased on Solutions Personal Contract Plan. Retail Sales only. +Subject to agreed annual mileage. Excess mileage apply. Offer available for vehicles ordered between 1st July and 30th September 2024. Further charges may be payable if vehicle is returned. Offers are not available in conjunction with any other offer and may be varied or withdrawn at any time. Available to 18's and over. Subject to availability. Terms and conditions apply. Finance subject to status. Accurate at time of publication [July 2024]. Freepost Audi Finance.

General Finance Terms and Conditions. Please note you will not own the vehicle outright until all payments are made. If you default on your finance payments, then the vehicle may be repossessed by the finance provider. You must be 18 years or older to apply for finance. Finance is not guaranteed, and any finance application is subject to a credit check and individual circumstances. If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us.
