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.
