During this period, I also conducted RTA vehicle inspections and provided roadside assistance.I then joined the Trivett Group, successfully completing the Sales Cadet program, and spent over four years in retail sales with the Volvo brand in Parramatta.An opportunity in vehicle procurement arose at nlc, where I worked for three years. Initially, this was a joint venture between nlc and Macquarie for a car buying service.
