In this week’s Car Dealer Weekly Briefing – the subscriber-only newsletter – James Baggott takes a look at two awards ceremonies.

He’s been to London to see News UK  – publisher of The Sun, Sunday Times and the soon-to-be-launched Sun Motors website – hand out its awards to car manufacturers.

He talks about the interesting winners in this week’s briefing and also what the word in the room was when he caught up with car manufacturer PR bosses. It was those chats that revealed the most.


In this week’s Substack he also takes a look at the next steps in our own Used Car Awards as the Nominations List is whittled down to our Shortlist via our mystery shoppers.

There’s news from a variety of car dealer group accounts too – with some mixed fortunes – and his thoughts on those.
