Scottish Elises

Hi guys and gals, just a quick note to keep you in the loop....

Well, I have left my job and sold my Elise to become a partner in SLS to help Ali out. Ali is very busy with mechanical repairs, servicing and upgrades and as such is struggling to find the time to run the business so I have come on board to do that side of things, we are currently in a transitional period where we've taken on new premises and are getting that converted to suit or needs. We will hopefully be trading out of there in the next couple of weeks. I was hoping to have everything sorted and an opening date for the new premisies in place before making an anouncement but feel I need to let you all know what's happening at the moment as there has been some speculation.

We have taken on board all your comments on the SLS of old and have a very clear vision of where the business needs to be and how we're going to achieve the highest level of customer service and retention. SLS is changing to provide you guys the best possible customer service to make your Lotus ownership, servicing, repairs and upgrade experience as pleasurable as possible.

More updates as and when we have them..

Thanks for your patience and taking the time to read this.

Mark & Ali @ SLS

My, my Markie you have been busy. Best of luck with the new venture

There's seriously not enough hours in the day at the moment but we're getting there..

Thanks Mikie

good stuff mate - This can only be a good thing*.
For a minute there I thought you were taking up spannering... I was worried!


*Unless of course the prices are going sky-high!

Great news Mark, he could not have a better apprentice. Should make a big difference.

All the best,

tut

Apprentice?

Have you read the post mate? He's in partnership!

I, for one, think it's a great move, if you can concentrate on the business and customer service side, allowing Ali time and space to do what he does best - fix cars!

Best of luck mate

Sounds like a great partnership, If I get back into a Lotus in the future I'll be sure to give you guys a good crack at the whip.

All the best with it!

Ali damaged his phone yesterday but is getting a replacement delivered later today, so if anybody has txt or tried to call him he's not actually been able to get his messages so please try again later today if you've been trying to get hold of him..

We will have a land line number for the business soon folk.

Thanks for your kind comments guys, new unit is still in Loanhead but in an industrial estate rather than the farm steading, more details will follow later..

Thanks
Mark

Good luck with the new venture guys. It sounds like a good business model and should allow Ali to kick off the poor admin image that had built up and Mark to concentrate on the customer development. Excellent news.

Blimey Mark, great stuff, and very best of luck to both you and Ali on the venture.

Best of luck to you both

Sounds promising fellas.

I think you have a merry band of followers who would love for SLS to do well - to the benefit of its customers and its owners alike - the streams of anxious feedback on here say it all!

Keep at it, don't rush things or cut corners just to make a "launch", focus on getting the service right from the beginning and you cannot offer yourselves a better footing than that.

Oh and a landline, with an answering machine, is an extremely good idea

Wishing a with it all.

Excellent news guys and best of luck with it.
