He is somewhat of a work-a-holic and truly loves buying and selling cars.Ken is a go-getter who is well liked and respected by Management staff and employees. He has a well-rounded (lots of pun intended) sense of humour and isn't afraid to laugh at himself when the joke is on him (which is quite often). If Ken seems excited lately, he is. He just heard the news that an A+W opened in Comber. Wendy's found out and their shares dropped 20%.
As you can see Ken, has beaten a serious disease and wish him continued success.
Chris started his career in the auto industry with Tilbury Chrysler in January of 1996 (when he had black hair) and he has never looked back. He has held various roles with the company, starting on the sales floor, lease renewal manager, used car manager and he now leads our new car department, and his hair has since gone whiter than snow . We are not sure of the link between sales and service and gray hair or no hair, hopefully the scientist will come up with a cure (Chris will take the sales side effect over the service alternative any day). So if you have any questions regarding leasing, your lease renewal or purchasing a new car, he can help. Chris was recently married to rejoices of "iaft".When he has spare time (which is rarely, now that he has a "honey do" list) , he enjoys hockey and golf and is an avid boater. Chris is also happy that mini Vneck NOAH, still has dark hair at his 2nd birthday.

In his spare time he enjoys fishing, boating, golf and cooking (but not all at once).
