Die moderne wit verkoopsaal en kantore van AutoWest, \u2019n gebruikte motorhandelaar, het op 25 Augustus 2006, presies 10 jaar gelede, hul deure oopgemaak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit was lank eienaar Charl de Goede se droom terwyl hy hom die voorafgaande 12 jaar as verkoopsman in die motorbedryf bekwaam het. Hy het by Wes-Kaap Delta van onder af begin en hom \u201copgewerk\u201d tot handelaarshoof en \u2019n direkteur van die maatskappy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dat AutoWest deur die resessie, wat die land en die w\u00eareld net n\u00e1 hul opening getref het, bly staan en selfs vooruitgegaan het, sal altyd \u2019n hoogtepunt vir De Goede bly. \u201cDie mat is onder ons uitgeruk, maar ons is daardeur en het sterker en beter anderkant uitgekom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Selfs met die sowat drie jaar wat die mark oorstroom is deur Chinese produkte wat baie druk op die gebruikte voertuigmark geplaas het, het AutoWest met hul suksesresep oorleef en aangegaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En die suksesresep? \u201cFokus, bestuur, baie harde werk en toegewyde personeel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die personeelkorps bestaan uit lojale werkers wat almal al langer as nege jaar by die maatskappy werk. \u201cOns is \u2019n hegte werksfamilie,\u201d het De Goede ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Maatskappy, veral \u2019n gebruikte motorhandelaar, se goeie naam beteken alles. Vir De Goede gaan dit oor eerlike besigheid doen met gehalteprodukte. \u201cJy wil h\u00ea \u2019n kli\u00ebnt moet terugkom om te kom koffie drink en te vertel hoe tevrede hy met sy motor is, nie andersom nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AutoWest wat drie jaar gelede as \u2019n Blue Chip-handelaar genomineer en is steeds deel van hierdie dinamiese groep onafhanklikke handelaars in die Weskaap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AutoWest hou redelik by die oorspronklike marksegment soos uitgestippel in die besigheidsplan wat die soort motors wat hulle verkoop betref, maar hulle pas aan by die mark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die goedkoopste motor wat hulle al verkoop het, was een van sowat R5 000 en die duurste, \u2019n Mercedes Benz SLK 55 AMG van R820 000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Julian Maree neem op 1 November vanjaar as handelaarshoof by De Goede oor, wanneer laasgenoemde vir twee jaar na Nieu-Seeland verhuis. Hy is van plan om daar \u201cenigiets anders\u201d te doen as om motors te verkoop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy hoop om daarna met nuwe ondervinding terug te keer en dit in die besigheid te kom inploeg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk trek nie my wortels uit nie. Ek sprei net my takke.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
