Meet the Team – Ade
At Volvo Cars Poole, experience is one of our strongest assets and few have more of it than Ade, our seasoned Senior Technician, who has dedicated 30 years to the Volvo brand.
What keeps him motivated after three decades? “Several things,” Ade says. “Learning new things, customer satisfaction, and the team we have here.” It’s a perfect mix of passion for innovation, pride in a job well done, and appreciation for the people around him.
Ade has worked on countless Volvo cars over the years, but he finds himself especially drawn to the newer models like the Volvo XC90 and Volvo XC60, which blend sophisticated engineering with cutting-edge technology. One of his recent highlights?
“Carrying out several high-voltage battery repairs” a complex and critical task that reflects his high-level training and technical confidence. Ade also shares some simple, essential advice for all drivers: “Always keep an eye on your tyre pressures, lights, and fluid levels.” A small habit that goes a long way toward preventing bigger problems.
When asked what people might not realise about his work, Ade is quick to point out: “The sheer amount of things we have to look out for and inspect when doing all types of jobs.” From diagnostics to repairs, every task demands focus, accuracy, and technical knowledge.
And when the tools go down? “When I’m not at work, I look forward to going out metal detecting and recovering history.” A fitting hobby for someone who’s spent a career digging deep into the details.
With decades of dedication, evolving knowledge, and a true passion for his craft, Ade is an integral part of the Volvo Cars Poole team.
