THOUGHT LEADERSHIP PIECE: From Master Techs to Marketing Gurus — There’s a Place for You at Pupkewitz Motors

When most people think of the motor industry, they picture someone in overalls, elbow-deep in engine grease — or a fast-talking salesperson handing over car keys. And sure, we’ve got some of the best technicians and salespeople in Namibia. But Pupkewitz Motors is so much more than that.

We are a 500-strong team of individuals from wildly different walks of life — and that’s exactly what drives our success.

We’ve got chartered accountants who can explain gross margin like it’s bedtime reading, legal minds who’ve swapped the courtroom for the boardroom, industrial psychologists shaping our culture, and master technicians who can make a Hilux purr like a kitten. And that’s before we mention our national angling champ and ex-Namibia rugby player — both now “hooked” on delivering customer excitement.

Here’s the thing: There’s no single type of person who succeeds at Pupkewitz Motors. We’re a company where a fireman-at-heart, a would-be pilot, or even a law graduate can thrive — if they live by our values and are passionate about creating excitement for customers.

33% of our team are women, driving innovation and breaking stereotypes daily.

67% of our workforce are millennials — energetic, creative, and always connected.

56% of us have been with the company for over 5 years, and 30% for over a decade — which says a lot in today’s world.

In an industry that’s changing faster than a Formula 1 pit stop, it’s not just what you know that counts. It’s how you show up.

At Pupkewitz Motors, we show up united — with purpose, with heart, and with a shared belief that anyone who’s willing to learn, grow, collaborate, and serve can find a home here. Whether you’re from the city, the coast, the north, the south, or somewhere in-between — if you bring the fire, we’ll help you fuel your future.

Because success here isn’t about where you start — it’s about how far you want to go.
