Here’s what you might have missed this week…
Monday – The US car market in 2020
We started the week by looking across the pond. Automotive journalist Cliff Banks is an industry speaker and knows the US car market inside out. On the show he chatted with James Baggott about new and used car sales and the remarkable parallels with the UK market.
Wednesday – The IMI’s Steve Nash
Industry veteran Steve Nash was on the show on Wednesday. In a fascinating interview, Nash spoke about the shockwaves coronavrius has sent through the motor industry, how not enough people are joining the sector through apprenticeships, and how the government should be doing more to support the motor trade. Nash, who’s also charity Ben’s chairman, chats to James Batchelor in this candid interview.
Thursday – On the shop floor at Big Motoring World
On Thursday we published one of our special videos where we leave the confines of home working and get out and see the motor trade. James Baggott visited Big Motoring World’s impressive Enfield site and witnessed first hand the great used car buying spree.
Friday – Car Quay’s Jamie Caple
Car Quay owner Jamie Caple, appeared on the show on Friday. A Car Dealer Live favourite among viewers, Caple spoke candidly and humorously about current trading in the used car market, what dealers are frustrated about at the moment and why dealers should be entering the Used Car Awards 2020.
