Euro Commercials Welcomes New Mercedes-Benz Vans Sales Executive Jason Blundell

Euro Commercials is pleased to welcome Jason to its growing Mercedes-Benz Vans sales team, further strengthening its commitment to supporting businesses with expert advice and tailored vehicle solutions.

Jason joins the business with a strong background in the automotive industry, having previously worked within the FRF South Wales group at Lexus Cardiff and Toyota Newport. Starting as a Sales Executive and progressing into a Transaction Manager role, he brings valuable experience guiding customers through the full vehicle purchasing journey — from initial enquiry through to finance, handover and aftercare.

Although relatively new to the commercial vehicle sector, Jason is already embracing the unique nature of the vans market.

“People buy a car because they want it, people buy a van because they need it,” he explains. “That’s what makes this role different. A van is often at the heart of someone’s business, so getting the right one really matters day-to-day.”

Jason was drawn to Euro Commercials and the Mercedes-Benz Vans brand due to its reputation for quality, reliability and trust within the business community. For him, the move also represents an opportunity to build meaningful, long-term relationships with customers.

“I wanted to be in a role where I could work closely with customers and really understand their needs,” he says. “Mercedes-Benz Vans offer a product range that has genuine value in the business world, and that makes the conversations more meaningful.”

​

With a young family at home, achieving the right work-life balance was also an important factor in his decision.

Jason’s approach to sales is built around listening, understanding and offering clear, honest advice.

“I try to understand how the customer actually uses their van — what they carry, how far they travel, what their budget looks like — and then help them find the right solution,” he explains. “I’m not about pressure selling. It’s about helping people make the right decision for their business.”

This approach aligns closely with Euro Commercials’ ethos of supporting customers beyond the initial sale. With strong aftersales support and in-depth product knowledge, the business is well-positioned to keep customers moving long after they collect their vehicle.

“For commercial customers, the support around the sale is just as important as the van itself,” Jason adds. “They need to know they’ve got a reliable partner behind them.”

Jason is particularly enthusiastic about the versatility of the Mercedes-Benz Vans line-up, highlighting models such as the Sprinter and Vito as standout options for a wide range of industries.

“The Sprinter is incredibly adaptable and can be used across so many sectors, from trades to delivery and specialist conversions,” he says. “The Vito is practical, professional and easy to live with.”

He also points to the growing importance of electric vehicles within the range, as more businesses begin to consider long-term running costs and sustainability.

“As someone who drives electric myself, I can see how that side of the range will become more important over time,” he notes.

For businesses considering investing in a new van, Jason encourages a long-term view.

“It’s not just about the upfront cost or monthly payment,” he advises. “You need to think about what the van does every day. The right vehicle should make your working life easier, not more complicated.”

He is looking forward to working with a wide variety of customers, from sole traders and tradespeople to growing fleets and established operators, all looking to make informed decisions for their businesses.

Jason also brings a unique personal story that has shaped his outlook both professionally and personally. Shortly after marrying his wife Natalie, the couple found themselves separated by 17,000 kilometres during the COVID-19 pandemic, with Jason in Australia and Natalie in the UK as global travel restrictions took hold.

After six months apart and navigating complex travel restrictions, they were finally reunited — a journey that even saw them featured across national media in Australia.

Looking back, Jason reflects on the experience as a lesson in patience, resilience and communication.

“It taught me to stay calm, focus on what you can control and keep moving forward,” he says. “That mindset definitely carries into my work. Customers often have a lot going on, especially when making important decisions for their business, so being patient and clear really matters.”

Over the next 12 months, Jason’s focus is on building strong relationships with local businesses and establishing himself as a trusted point of contact for Mercedes-Benz Vans customers.

“My aim is to be someone customers can rely on — whether they’re buying their first van or expanding a fleet,” he says.

Outside of work, Jason enjoys spending time with his young family, following Australian sports including AFL and NRL, and keeping up with Formula 1 and the financial markets.

Jason encourages anyone considering a new or used van to get in touch, even at an early stage.

“You don’t need to have everything figured out,” he says. “Whether you’re replacing a vehicle, growing your business or just exploring your options, I’m here to help. Think of me as your van consultant, not just a van salesman.”
