As career moves go, I am fortunate to be able to say that this is the most natural I have yet to make. For the past 2 years I have been working alongside Image Console in progressing Used Car Programs within the Irish car market place - (Opel's NetworkQ, Renault's Renault SELECTION, BMW'S Used Approved Program, Audi Approved Plus, Skoda Approved Used Cars etc... )Car dealers are adopting better processes to quickly enhance their adverts online. At the same time, they are expediting the online to web time-frame, and therefore saving time, money and increase sales and profitability. The upload of Video and Image products via remote APPs on mobile processing devices for car dealers is a key business tool in a rapidly changing environment. It's what their customers expect to experience! The best quality adverts possible. Our mission is to assist them in that goal. I am delighted to have the opportunity to join the Image Console Company, and at the same time continue to work closely with my previous colleagues in Skupe Net / easierad.ie. As stated on the outset - the most natural career move to date. I am contactable on Joe@imageconsole.com / 0871470004Thank youJoe Kavanagh

CBG.ie (Part of Page7media - (Menupages.ie / dresses.ie)) has been servicing the motor industry for over 16 years and is Ireland's longest established Irish owned car website for car dealers and private classified car advertisers.
