Dear Colleague

In today’s newsletter, we have included a list of all the information material available to you as NFDA member. These include the recent Plug-In Vehicle Guide, our Diesel Debate Booklet and Leaflet, as well as Drive My Career reports about young people’s perceptions of working in the industry and what you need to know to become part of EVA (Electric Vehicle Approved). Please find more details below and email louise.woods@rmif.co.uk to request your copy of any of these.

In March, NFDA regional meetings will take in place in York, Cobham, Warrington, Bristol and Northampton. Members’ input is vital to set the direction of our work - your attendance is extremely valuable . Key areas of discussions include new and used car market, aftersales, finance and insurance, HR and employment, and consumer legislation. Dates and venues in the events section of the news.

Motor Trader has released its 2019’s Top 50 Movers & Shakers list of those who have ‘influenced the automotive retail sector over the past year and are set to make their presence felt over the course of 2019’. Huge congratulations to all our featured members!

Finally, congratulations also to Lookers and TrustFord, named in the Sunday Times 25 Best Big Companies to Work For, a further testament to how exciting and rewarding a career in automotive retail can be.
