Starting in lockdown and then dealing with the wider new and used car supply issues, 2021 has proved to be a difficult if profitable year for most retailers. Will 2022 prove to be more of the same or will new and used car supply begin to ease?

Auto Retail Live’s Outlook for 2022 webinar on 14 December will examine this and host of other trends set to impact retailers next year. Alongside looking at when the industry-wide supply issues will start to abate and bring used car supply and pricing back to some form of normal, we’ll also examine other issues including demand for technicians, vehicle electrification and soaring energy costs. And it almost goes without saying that we’ll touch on agency agreements too.

In our final Auto Retail Live of this year we’ll have Mark Raban, CEO of Lookers, David Peel, managing director of Pentagon Motor Group, and Stuart Mills, chief customer officer of Keyloop, all available online to discuss these topics, answer your questions and help you get ready for 2022.

The focus for this webinar will be to prepare retailers for the topics set to dominate their business in the coming 12 months.

Topics and questions for discussion include:

• When will new car supply being to free up?
• Will there be a soft or hard adjustment to used car values in 2022?
• Consumer behaviour changes as more people buy EVs
• Impact of rising EV mix on the retailer
• What do retailers need to consider ahead of a switch to an agency model?
• Margin pressure from escalating costs from staffing to energy

REGISTER NOW and join us online at 2pm on Thursday, 14 December for our look on 2022. It’s 40 minutes that will give you helpful advice and expert opinion on the year ahead – from some of the most successful operators in the auto retail industry.
