Shannon Marshall, been appointed as dealer principal at the Pacific Toyota Motor Group making him the youngest dealer-principal in Cairns.
Marshall is a fresh faced 37-year-old dealer principal, who has also bought part of the business and is the managing director of what is regarded as the best performing regional and rural Toyota franchise in Australia, according to The Cairns Post.
He comes to Cairns after heading up the largest Toyota retail operation in the country, Scifleet in Brisbane.
While it is early days following a sales deal with former dealer-principal and co-owner Greg Eastment, Marshall aims to grow the business which sells about 2500 new and used cars a year.
Marshall told The Cairns Post: “it will take some time to adjust from selling 800 cars a month in Brisbane,” but he is confident the economy is turning for the better.
