About Fast Parts

Known for rapid, reliable same-day delivery and expert, friendly advice, we pride ourselves on knowing our customers and always finding a way to get them the part they need.
The Role

- Build and maintain strong relationships with local garages, workshops and retail customers to become their first port of call
- Liaise with the counter, warehouse and delivery teams to ensure orders are picked and dispatched same day
- Follow up on quotes, backorders and special-order parts to keep customers informed
- Identify opportunities to upsell or cross-sell related parts and products
- Maintain accurate customer and order records
- Contribute to a friendly, helpful team atmosphere that reflects the Fast Parts reputation for great service
