Colleague Life


At JCT600, we drive you to find your best you and thrive when you get there. We want JCT600 to feel like a home from home for everyone, somewhere all colleagues feel safe, secure and trusted to do the right thing.


We believe in setting our own standards rather than following the crowd. It’s this approach that shapes our culture and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. In fact, we were proud to be recognised at the highest level with the AutoTrader People and Culture Award 2025.


And we’re not just talking about it, we’re making it happen. Our seven colleague commitments guide everything we do, and we’re already bringing them to life across the business.


Of course, we could tell you what life at JCT600 is like, but we think it’s better to let our incredible colleagues show you...

Reward & Recognition


At JCT600 we want to create a workplace where colleagues feel truly valued and celebrated. We believe great work should never go unnoticed, and we take pride in recognising the contributions, achievements and dedication of our teams throughout the year. A great example of this is our annual JCT600 Heroes Awards event, which brings colleagues together to shine a spotlight on the people who go above and beyond every day.

Behind The Scenes


Let's be real - nobody's perfect, and honestly, we’re not either! At JCT600, we embrace our flaws and the little mishaps that happen along the way. This video shows our colleagues in action, proving that sometimes the best moments are the ones that don’t go quite to plan.

Inclusivity & Diversity


We try our hardest to make JCT600 feel like a home from home for all of our colleagues. To us, that’s a place where everyone feels supported to be their true selves every day, where differences are celebrated, and where every voice is valued. We believe that a diverse workforce not only reflects the wonderful communities we serve, but also makes us stronger, more innovative, and better equipped to meet the needs of our customers.

Wellbeing


The wellbeing of our colleagues is at the heart of every decision we make as we want to create a workplace that our people are proud to join. It’s crucial to us that every colleague not only feels supported but is inspired to lend their support and appreciate one another for giving their best!


To support these wellbeing commitments, we have signed the Mindful Employer Charter and joined their network.

Colleague Stories


Daniel Johnson


Assistant Manager

Accident Repair Centre Sheffield

“Growing up servicing vehicles with my dad is what kick-started my passion for Automotive. 25 years on, I get a real sense of satisfaction from reinstating a customer's ‘pride and joy’ back to pre-accident condition.  


I’ve come a long way since starting with the company in 2014 as a vehicle damage assessor; JCT600 has supported me through working with some of the best brands using the latest equipment and high-level of training. In the future I’m aiming to expand on my skills and responsibilities here at JCT600.”

Centre Principal at Porsche Sheffield

"I started at JCT600 in Sales as a Sales Executive at Audi Sheffield. From day one, I was given the support and training I needed to grow – moving through roles like Showroom Manager, Sales Manager, and General Sales Manager, before stepping into my first Head of Business role. Now, after nearly 20 years with the company, I’m proud to be Centre Principal at Porsche Sheffield – a brand and city I’ve always dreamed of working in.


What makes JCT600 special is the people – I work with an incredible team every day. Seeing colleagues I once hired as trainees now leading their own teams makes me really proud. It’s a business that truly invests in its people, and I’m excited about what we’ll achieve together in this next chapter."

Our Seven Colleague Commitments


We give everyone a say and allow them to help shape life at JCT600.


Through our annual OurVoice survey, our colleagues tell us what they love about working at JCT600 and what we can do to make it even better. This isn’t just lip service; we take action and make real changes from this feedback.

Our values guide what we do and how we do it. They’re present in every action we take, from people policies to customer service.


When we say we’re a family, we mean it.

Our colleagues are fully versed in our strategy, the plans we have to make it a reality and are familiar with the part they play. Regular 1-2-1s help to support everyone in their role and manage their progress towards objectives which are tailored to them.

We’re dedicated to providing learning opportunities for those who want to progress and be amazing at their job. From apprenticeships to leadership development, it's there if you want it.

We want JCT600 to feel like a 'home from home’, where all colleagues can be at their best and feel like part of a family. From colleague communities to school outreach programmes, there are lots of opportunities for you to play your part.

We believe that leaders can make or break your experience at work, and we know that leadership isn’t always easy. That’s why, from the day you join us, we will help you to be the best leader you can be. From manager induction to new leader programmes and support for the more established leaders, the only limit is the one which you set.

We celebrate our successes, big and small, and make sure that everyone knows the difference they’ve made. It’s this dedication, pride, and passion that has been key to our success over the last 75 years and will be for the next 75 to come. We are truly grateful to every member of the JCT600 family.
