Seemingly destined to join the oil industry with many friends at the time becoming mud Engineers on oil rigs in various far-flung parts of the world, Robertson's first job offer was with Halliburton in Kuwait. The prospect of being away from people for six weeks at a time did not appeal, and cars had always been a passion of his. He joined Rover Group as a graduate trainee for Rover in 1979.

1988

Robertson held numerous roles within Rover Group, including Plant Director Drews Lane Plant (1988-1990) and Plant Director Powertrain (1990-1994), before becoming Purchasing Director in 1994.
