Bio
Alexandra Laurence
Craig is a hard working, efficient, smooth operator. Craig manages a large team and always makes time for every single team member to make them feel valued, appreciated and noticed for their achievements. Craig is an integral part of Essendon BMW and is always thinking of new ways to innovate and generate more profit for the business, all while keeping a steady hand on the wheel. Whilst Craig and I are in different departments of the business, I have learnt and continue to learn so much from him and appreciate his time. I would have no hesitation recommending Craig.
