Angie Dent
Fleet & LCV Manager
0191 2950101
I'm one of the Hodgson 'decade' club, having worked in the business for 12 years, to date. I've been in the motor trade for just about my entire professional career but have had experience in running pubs and restaurants (which has been a great benefit, when it comes to customer service). With all of my years of experience, I've seen many different sides to the industry (from rental companies to auctions) but have settled in a true family-run company. Outside of the fleet world, I simply enjoy socialising and spending time with my family (especially the Grandkids!).
Emma Mallaburn
Fleet & LCV Assistant
01912950101
Emma has been with Toyota Silverlink for a few years now and has made her way up through various parts of the business. She started out as a showroom host dealing with sales and service queries and proved to be a hit with our customers. Naturally customer focused Emma moved onto to doing more with the service department before an opening came in our Business & LCV centre. Working alongside Angie Dent and busy with deliveries of new Hilux, PROACE throughout the region, you'll be hard pushed to find either of them sat in the office. When asked what her favourite Toyota Vehilces were, the was no long pause - 'It's got to be the iconic Hilux first and then probably the Rav4. The Hilux just gets better and better and in our region it's an absolute work horse that never let's our customers down in the field. I mean, literally in the field as we have so many farmers as customers!

Andrea joined Hodgson Toyota Silverlink team in August 2009. She has always worked in a customer facing job role, however, Hodgson was her first experience in the motor trade that she absolutely loved! Even today Andrea believes that she can talk to customers and explain things in a non-technical way. Something everyone loves - to hear things in the language they speak. She loves working at Hodgson because it is a family based company - the atmosphere working in a big group of people who support each other is great. Furthermore, Andrea loves dealing with people. 'Sometimes it can get challenging,' she says, 'but I find it quite rewarding.' When Andrea is not at work, she enjoys spending time with her family or friends and looking after her gardening.

50 Years of Hilux: The Hilux Story

Known for its ability to handle all kinds of tough terrain – including the North Pole, South Pole and the Dakar Rally – Hilux has been the go-to vehicle if you’re in the market for a powerful workhorse.

Its indestructible reputation has been built over seven generations of constant development and testing in the harshest of topographies. From navigating treacherous icy ridges to entering an active volcano – the boundaries of impossibility keep on being pushed. 

To understand the full legend though, we first need to delve back to where it all began…

RAV4 by the sea

Toyota RAV4 Dynamic hybrid

By: Edward Stephens

Oct 20, 2019

WHEN it comes to producing a new version of a car that has already sold more than nine million models car makers better get it right.

So there’s little doubt the designers and engineers who created the latest, fifth generation, Toyota RAV4 had a few sleepless nights before the job was done.

Over the years this model has become the biggest selling SUV in the world but the newest version bears no resemblance at all to the tiny - by today’s standards - first generation which started it all.
