  • He loves his job as a sales executive, being able to work with cars is a massive plus for Jordan, but it’s the atmosphere and the culture of car sales that makes him tick. Always working with great, like-minded NS ambitious people. Fast paced, energetic and Love meeting new people and making new friends along the way. What’s not to love!
  • I once managed to save a mans life without any first aid training after he was in an altercation which resulted in him receiving several stab wounds.
  • When Jordan was 16 years old hw was on the X factor and he got through the initial stages but, unfortunately, was turned down 1 round before seeing the judges. They told him it was due to having too many people already through that day and told him to re-audition the following year, but Jordan chose to give up on my singing career. His talent is not wasted and he just enjoys singing for his children.
  • When asked to pick his favourite Kia, Jordan didn't hestitate in picking the EV6 GT. What a car! Here;s what he had to say - "With good space for the family and insane speeds if you want to have fun. Little bursts of rapid acceleration to give everyone a giddy stomach. Its always going to put a smile on my face when I see one. Its not just the speed with this Kia though, It looks fantastic and has a very high level of trim too. I would love to own one for daily use and on the weekend be able race on a drag strip and watch the super car owners cry as they see my tailights".
