 JOIN US: Thursday, 14 March 2024 at 2pm

March’s plate change is upon us once again and new car supply is being to look decidedly like the past four years never happened with significant new car offers and a cautious consumer.

In this Business Briefing our panel of retailer experts will discuss the state of the current market, what can be done to bring in more customers for both new and used cars and how OEM offers and targets are impacting the bottom line for retailers.

Discussing all these topics in our next Auto Retail Live Business Briefing, will be Swansway’s Peter Smyth, Ron Brooks’ Tom Slack and Auto Trader’s Karolina Edwards-Smajda. Led by Auto Retail Live chair Al Clarke, the panel will discuss 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 14 March, will examine the data, discuss hands-on experience and offer advice about how to get the most out of the next quarter.
