Patterson Motor Group has celebrated record turnover for last year by signing up trainee SARAH LAW.

She recently completed an accounting and finance degree and is hoping to put her knowledge to good use in Patterson's leasing division, which helped the business reach a turnover of £215m last year.

Initially in an administrative role, she will learn about the leasing process.

Richard Devlin, operations director at Patterson Leasing, said: "We welcome her to the company and hope that this is the start of a long and distinguished career at Patterson."
