Auto Retail Live: Business Briefing

 JOIN US: Tuesday, 19 September 2023 at 2pm

September’s plate change is upon us once again and for the first time since the pandemic the new car supply is being to look ‘normal’.

Despite this background, economic pressures remain and consumers are increasingly careful about how they spend their money. This is countered by continuing used car stock shortages in some sectors and high prices and good margins.  However, the exception is used electric vehicle sales which have gone through a price realignment as supply and demand begin to balance out.

Discussing all these topics in our next Auto Retail Live Business Briefing, will be Lookers’ Duncan McPhee, eStar Truck and Van’s Steve Bridge and Auto Trader’s Marc Palmer. 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 Tuesday 19 September, will examine the data, discuss hands-on experience and offer advice about how to get the most out of the first 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:

• Has vehicle supply finally exceeded customer demand?
• Latest insight into used vehicle values
• Have used EV prices normalised?
• What do retailers need to do to adapt to EV sales?
• How to retain customers in economically tough times
