Auto Retail Live: Business Briefing

 JOIN US: Thursday, 8 June 2023 at 2pm

During the first half of 2023 total new car registrations have seen significant increases, however, retail sales have not been part of this rise. Used car values are still strong but EV supply into the market is still outstripping demand.

Is the industry back to normal? And if not, when is that likely to happen?

Inflation is still high and consumers are under increasing economic pressure as the cost of living rises.

In the next Auto Retail Live Business Briefing, we’ll talk to Swansway’s Peter Smyth, Perrys’ Darren Ardron, and Auto Trader’s Karolina Edwards-Smajda about how retailers can combat these issues and what’s going on now and what’s expected to happen to UK auto retail in the next few months.

Auto Retail Live, on Thursday 8 June, will examine the data, discuss hands-on experience and offer advice about how to get the most out of the second half of 2023.

Our expert panel will also be available live to answer your questions to help you run a more successful business.

Key topics for discussion include:

• Is new car market supply back to pre-pandemic normality?
• Are new car orders coming in fast enough?
• Used car pricing outlook – EV & ICE differences
• What’s the best approach to selling EVs?
• How much of the sales process is really online?
