Dear Colleague
Another challenging, yet exciting year comes to a close. The automotive retail industry has continued to demonstrate its resilience despite the effects that a number of external factors have had on consumer confidence and the whole UK economy. We now await December’s new car market figures to see the results of the full year.
In this week’s newsletter, you will find a round-up of 2018’s main NFDA’s activities and publications. A more detailed version of our summary of 2018 is included in the recently published winter edition of our quarterly magazine, The Voice. The magazine features also an interview with Sytner CEO, Darren Edwards, plus updates on Drive My Career, our Electric vehicle Approved (EVA) scheme, the first NFDA Electric Vehicle Dealer Attitude Survey and more. Download your PDF copy of The Voice at https://www.nfda-uk.co.uk/press-room/the-voice/2018.
