A spokesman said: “Our owner, Peter Waddell, started out selling cars off of his drive way.

“Now, Big Motoring World have five sales site, stocking over 4,000 cars.

“And we are not stopping there, our expansion plans will push us on to becoming one of the largest car supermarkets in the UK.

“We are now looking for ambitious sales executives to join us on this exciting journey.

He added: “We’re looking for people who have a passion for cars and a flair for customer service.

“They should love working in a fast-paced and competitive sales environment and have the drive to meet sales targets.”

A spokesman said the recruitment day had filled some of vacancies.

He added: “We’ll therefore be pushing ahead to try to fill the remaining vacancies at our two Peterborough branches.”
