60 Second interview Robert Zubovic, network director, MAN Truck & Bus UK

My favourite holiday destination is...

Dubrovnik.

I drive an...

Audi Q5.

My hobbies are...

Football and martial arts.

I got into the industry when...

I joined MAN eight years ago as a management accountant and progressed into sales and aftersales with solid development plans and strong mentoring and support from the senior board. Before joining MAN, I worked for Network Rail on large projects in London and before that I was working in Swansea for a small family-run construction business.

To encourage young people into the industry we should...

Use social media more. We offer apprenticeship programmes for technicians and in the past couple of years we widened that apprenticeship programme for administration roles for parts and service. We will be launching a sales apprenticeship programme later this year. We have work placement schemes (internships) for under-graduates, who spend up to 12 months being mentored and developed in sales, finance and aftersales. This is a fantastic opportunity for us and the intern to potentially secure a career with MAN once they have graduated.

The outlook for the market in the next 12 months is...

We see a small growth in 2016 over 2015.
