Have you booked up yet for our 'Outlook for retailers in 2025' webinar at 2 pm on 10 December? 2024 has been a tough year with supply outstripping demand, electric vehicle targets pushing the market and a sluggish economy putting ever more pressure on consumer wallets. As well as these ongoing factors, 2025 will see retailers having to deal with a leap in employment costs and a threat to finance margins. However, as an industry we never fail to learn and adapt. So what does 2025 have in store and what can be put in place to maximise profitability. Our panel of experts include John O'Hanlon from Waylands and Philipp Sayler von Amende from Carwow. They will get into the detail of new car supply, the impact of the ZEV Mandate, consumer confidence and employment costs plus look at the best metrics businesses should be using to make sure they’re on the right track for a profitable 2025. They will also be on hand to answer your queries, so sign up and get your questions in.

Rewind 10 years in #automotive #retail. #Dieselgate was still a year away, annual new UK #registrations nudged 2.5m of which 6,700 were #BEVs that year. Today, the new car market has been transformed by government policy requiring OEMs to achieve the 22% #ZEV threshold. Familiar brand names are in decline, new entrants from China are on the rise, agency models are coming and going but #franchised retailers remain the primary channel for new #car customers. We’re just over a week into ‘74’ plate registrations, and I’m looking forward to this week’s Auto Retail Network Business Briefing webinar in association with Auto Trader Insight live on Tuesday 10 September at 09h00 when we’ll be hearing practical approaches to driving new car sales from leading retailers Hendy Group Norton Way Motors Ltd with insight from Auto Trader UK. 40 minutes of fast-paced advice, questions and valuable comments, so why not join the conversation by sending questions in advance to Tristan Young? Or on the day using #ARNLive. Sign up in less than 20 seconds, and we’ll see you at 09h00 on Tuesday. In fact, why not get the team together, watch it over a coffee and share the knowledge straight away round the business?    Bex K.
