Despite his youthful appearance Murray Esslemont has worked with Alexander Wallace for a very long time. Indeed when Director Jim Manson purchased Alexander Wallace in 1999, Murray came with the building. Much like a gracious swan taking flight, Murray has climbed through the Alexander Wallace ranks; starting out as an Apprentice Technician in 1999, before qualifying as a Toyota Technician in 2002 and becoming Aftersales Manager in 2011. Murray is a cheerful lad and looks a bit like Freddie Flintoff.

Young Connor is a rather nice chap. If you have a question regarding a Toyota, he is the man for you. Whether you need to know the wading depth of an Aygo, the drag coefficient of a Proace, Connor will have the answer. Connor has been with us since June 2013, looks a little bit like Louis Theroux and gives the best hugs!
Michael Spring
Sales Consultant

Email me
With his manly beard Michael represents the more rugged half of the Alexander Wallace sales team. Michael joined Alexander Wallace in February 2016 with 3 years experience, not of hacking through the wilderness in a bid to survive by living off a diet of squirrel and berries as his looks suggest, but selling cars. We are not allowed to tell you who he worked with before but it rhymes with ' Blarnold Glark'.

Tomasz Kopczynski

Our Technician Tomasz, our very own Polish James Bond, has been with the company since 2012.

Lee Robertson
