CHARLES HURST GROUP ANNOUNCES NEW CHIEF

Charles Hurst Group’s new Group Operations Director, Jeff McCartney.

Charles Hurst Group has announced Jeff McCartney as its new group operations director.

One of Northern Ireland’s largest employers and investors, as well as the region’s Top 100 companies, with 900 employees across eight sites, has said the key appointment comes at an important time for the business, as the wider industry embarks on a new journey of growth and transition.

Jeff McCartney joined Charles Hurst in 1988 where he was originally based within Charles Hurst’s tyres division. Working across a variety of well-known vehicle brands and its fast-growing Usedirect/Used car sites, Jeff quickly progressed through a range of management roles in all areas of the company before moving into a leadership position within the senior team.

Now with over three decades of service and experience within Charles Hurst Group, most recently as sales operations director, Jeff will take up the post with immediate effect, having held the role on an interim basis from late last year. Since then, Jeff has led the business through a major digital transformation to continue its growth while leading in the provision of public health and safety measures.
