This time on the Car Dealer Podcast James and Rebecca are joined by CEO of CarShop Nigel Hurley as they discuss the stories of the week.
Updates from the London Stock Exchange were keeping the team busy this week and we get Hurley’s view on what’s been announced.
Meanwhile, with news that some used cars have raised in value by £8,000 in three months we ask the car supermarket boss for his thoughts on this, as well as getting hold of stock at this time.
Hurley also shared his experiences of going into isolation following catching Covid, and then having to go straight back into another period of self-isolation!
