Dear Colleague,
Next week I will be at the Conservative Party Conference. I have a number of meetings scheduled to discuss key issues affecting franchised retailers. These include the implications of Brexit and the current climate of political uncertainty, as well as the obstacles affecting the electric vehicle sector and the support retailers and consumers need. We will keep you updated.
