Meet the Team – Martin
At Lightcliffe Škoda, we believe that buying a car is about more than simply choosing the right model – it's about finding someone you can trust. This week we're introducing Martin, one of our Sales Executives, whose calm approach, genuine care for customers and wealth of life experience have quickly made him a valued member of the team.
Having joined Lightcliffe Škoda in October 2025, Martin has enjoyed every day of the challenge.
"I love meeting people and helping them. Every customer is different and every day brings something new. That's what keeps the job interesting."
One thing Martin is passionate about is treating every customer as he would expect to be treated himself.
Unlike many salespeople, Martin buys and runs his own cars, so he understands exactly what it's like to be on the other side of the desk.
"Take your time. Find the right car, but just as importantly, find the right person to buy it from. People buy from people."
Outside work, Martin is a proud father of two young children and a dedicated gym enthusiast. Training isn't just about keeping fit – it's his way of relaxing and clearing his mind.
"The gym is my place of peace. It's where I think, train and de-stress."
His impressive physique certainly isn't just for show either, regularly training with 50kg dumbbells in each hand!
Martin is also a committed Catholic and says his faith plays an important role in everyday life.
"I pray every morning for my family and for the people around me. My faith gives me strength and perspective."
His favourite life motto is the well-known Serenity Prayer:
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
When asked what might surprise people about him, Martin laughed before admitting:
"People probably wouldn't expect it, but I'll happily cry at a good film!"
As for his favourite Škoda? That honour goes to the Škoda Superb, while his dream car outside the brand would be an Audi RS6.
If he could drive anywhere in the world tomorrow, it would be the beautiful island of Dominica.
Finally, we asked Martin why customers should choose to buy from him.
"I've matured over the years and understand both sides of the buying process. You'll get someone who listens, understands what you're looking for and genuinely wants to help. What you see is what you get."
