Auto Retail Live

Looking at the next five years and the run-up to 2030, the UK’s auto retail industry is facing some of the biggest shifts in direction ever seen. With digitisation already well under way, vehicle electrification and agency agreements are set to dominate the landscape, manufacturers and dealers need to work out how best to run a profitable retail operation. In the latest Auto Retail Live broadcast, held in association with Lombard, we’ll be investigating these topics in depth with panellists Paul Hendy, CEO of Hendy Group, Tony Whitehorn, automotive consultant and former president of Hyundai Motor UK plus Richard Hill head of automotive at Natwest. The broadcast will also mark the launch of our new report The Future of UK Auto Retailing which identifies the impact the past year has had on the automotive landscape and how the automotive landscape looks set to change in the next five to 10 years. The focus for this webinar will be to provide insight into how the landscape for auto retail will develop with electrification, digitisation and the adoption of new retailing agreements. Key topics for discussion include: EV adoption and the impact on retailers Changing customer behaviour Agency and direct sales model adoption Regulations at UK and European level New market entrants and disruptors
