Welcome back Scott

Bell & Covill welcome the return of Scott Walker to join Jamie Matthews in our Lotus Sales Team. Many may remember Scott as a passionate enthusiast who originally joined Bell & Colvill back in 1999. Scott's passion for the Lotus marque no doubt helped maintain Bell & Colvill's number one status for new Lotus sales in the UK.

Having successfully run Scott Walker's Sportscars as an independent Lotus specialist since 2011, Scott becomes another familiar face to return to Bell & Colvill following the significant investment by Chairman, Andy Elliman, and his team. This ensured the long term future of the world's oldest Lotus Dealership.

Scott says, "With recent change in family circumstances, plus the exciting developments at Bell & Colvill, I thought now would be a great time for me to return to the main dealer network. The commitment to Lotus Cars by new owners DRB-HICOM and their recently announced £100 million investment into the company, with exciting plans for new models in the future, the prospect of working with the with the number 1 dealer again is something I wanted to be part of. "

Scott will be based at Bell & Colvill's iconic Horsley showrooms offering new and used Lotus cars. The company will be expanding it's classic Lotus business, selling cars that were quite possibly sold by Bobby Bell and Martin Colvill earlier in their careers!

Cool. Sounds like both sides are very happy indeed. Have fun Scott

[Bibs]

I wonder where Scott is working now?

[Advantage]

Give us a clue. Is it anywhere in the East of the country?

[Bibs]

Might be?!

[Advantage]

Ooh. nice one.

[Stirling_Villeneuve]

Bernard Matthews? 

[Advantage]

Scroby Sands wind farm. Fact.

[mdavies]

Casually enquiring of ano some days ago the reply was: "Can't tell you until Wednesday", with a further indication that it was newsworthy. Well it is Wednesday..................

[Jamie-BellandColvill]

Well I did speak with him yesterday and I did dial a 01953 number 

[Advantage]

Which is odd, because whenever i speak to him I have to dial an 0898 number at £1.50 a minute...

[Mark Blanchard]

So he's working at Lotus?

[Kimbers]

That's awesome. Welcome back Scott!

[Stirling_Villeneuve]

Any idea what Scott's role will be?

 

It can only be a good thing to have someone in the camp with so much knowledge of Lotus from the pointy end... 

[Bibs]

This is only rumours of course but after James Haskey went to Rolls Royce there was a vacancy for a UK Territory Manager

[The Pits]

Now that is terrific news. No better man for the job.

[Simon350S]

Does that mean he's selling off his personal stock cheap?

Baggsy the yellow V8..... PM me Scott for an offer you can't refuse....

Do you take favours in lieu?

[Stirling_Villeneuve]

Guigiaro Esprit for me... or perhaps Scott could instigate a reissue run?

 

I'd be happy with the Toyota 6 pot, a few tweaks here and there. Put me down for a JPS one.

[Bazza 907]

Occasionally, just occasionally, a company actually appoints the very best person for the job. This is one such occasion.

 

Congratulations both Lotus and Scott.  

[The Pits]

Couldn't agree more.

 

Fantastic news.

 

Many congratulations Scott.

 

[Simon350S]

Indeed congrats....

P.S. Have you been spray tanning Scott?

[Stirling_Villeneuve]

That is SERIOUSLY good news, congratulations Scott and well done Lotus.

 

Evora Cup and Evora Spider... for starters please!
