MEET THE TEAM

Mark Holland
Managing Director

Following the retirement of his father John Holland in 2011, Mark took over as managing director.

Very much the figurehead for the business, Mark's leadership has seen the company thrive year on year, with numerous expansions and award wins coming John Holland's way over the past few years.

A petrolhead since a very young age, Mark trained as a mechanic before eventually going on to bring his experience to his father’s company.

Tony Entwistle
Director

I ventured into the motor trade as a trainee salesman at Barnsley Volvo on the 1st March 1997 and swiftly progressed to Senior Salesman then Sales Manager and then General Manager by 2003 and was also heavily involved in purchasing the group’s used car stock. In 2005 I transferred to Sheffield Volvo to run the bigger city dealership. In 2007 after discussions with Mark Holland I gave up the Volvo career to establish the buying department at John Holland. In the following years we brought more high quality buyers in and established great relationships within the motor industry countrywide. In 2012 I took over as General Manager and with Mark Holland have grown the business to what it is today. In that time we have more than doubled our stock holding, added a state of the art workshop, improved the building, added a showroom and a boardroom, had 2 years as Sheffield United shirt sponsors, won Dealers Dealer of the Year at the National Used Car Awards, Won Trading Standards Customer Service Award 4 years in a row and I was named Used Car Dealer Principal of the Year 2018 again at the National Used Car Awards. Appointed Director 1st Sept 2020.

ADMINISTRATION TEAM

Natalie Foster
Office Manager 

Nickie Sharp
Sales Admin

Upon first stepping out into the working world I worked for a firm of Solicitors, my role here was very varied from general administration to court attendances, as far as the High Court in London.

From 2005 until early 2023, I worked for Morrisons Supermarkets where I was responsible for the accounting of all their fuel deliveries both on and offshore, as well as purchase orders. Here I developed great relationships with fuel suppliers and Morrisons's third-party Logistics Company which did their fuel deliveries.

After seeing many changes in the corporate world, an opportunity came along to work for John Holland Sales in their Administration Office where I have been since May 2023, learning along the way and enjoying the ride.
