Meet the Team – Sean Sweeney
Getting to know the people behind The Lightcliffe Way
If you've visited Lightcliffe Škoda recently, there's a good chance you've already met Sean Sweeney. Although he's one of the newest members of our sales team, Sean has quickly settled into life at the dealership thanks to his friendly personality and genuine enthusiasm for helping customers.
Sean's connection with Lightcliffe actually goes back much further than his own employment. His father was previously General Manager here, so joining the dealership was something of a family recommendation. It also meant Sean already knew the welcoming culture that makes Lightcliffe such a great place to work.
We caught up with Sean to find out a little more about him...
