Ryan Durry

Hi My names Ryan, I'm a father of 3, I love the outdoors and live on a 22 acre lifestyle property in Redwood Valley in Nelson. I'm a dynamic sales professional with extensive experience in business operations management, sales, finance, insurance and marketing in the automotive industry for 20 + years. I started out grooming vehicles when I left school to then moving to Melbourne to work in a state-of-the-art dealership with Subaru Docklands where I sharpened my skills in automotive sales, finance and customer care service to becoming Australia's top salesman in 2006. I learnt a lot of new skills selling vehicles online inter-state and with this decided to move back to New Zealand and brought a established but struggling used dealership in Nelson. With my young and fresh approach and hard work I turned it around, running a successful dealership for 15 years importing used vehicles from Japan and selling them throughout New Zealand, one of the first to sell online. I did all the marketing, finance and insurance working with all the major lenders and finance brokers. In 2021 I ceased an opportunity to acquire a paint & panel shop where I've been actively managing operations and immersing myself in this industry for the last 6 months. I have proven success in dealership management, vehicle finance, insurance, vehicle importation and marketing. I'm eager for a new challenge and to bring my real life comprehensive expertise to your team.
