Wells: As brand manager for Alan Day Volkswagen in Hampstead, I am responsible for the smooth running of the showroom and the financial performance of the site as a whole – which keeps me pretty busy.
I like to think we are similar to a Premier League football team, attempting to deliver high-performance results in order to keep our customers and the team happy.
I am also responsible for training, recruitment and selection.

It is a shame because once the Government decides the date to finish their demonisation of the diesel and internal combustion engine, the motor trade will be in a really bad way, we can all butter it up whatever way we like but the long and short of it is that at least 50% of the trade will no longer be required!! Technicians, Parts Staff, Service Reception Staff, and sales staff will take a hit also due to online sales, never mind Motor Factors and the Independent Sector which is also a massive chunk for the Parts Network. Saying " It will be the biggest change in our lifetime" is the PC way for employed management saying "we are snookered but don't say because we have to be seen to be looking to remain positive, and sure in 10 years time I will be finished up" Whilst trying to inspire a young apprentice who may not be covered in grease but will still be slogging long hours morning to night in one of the worst paid undervalued trades, is electric so clean?? mmm I don't think so, the government trying to even pull this forward to 2030!! Really!! who makes these decisions!! They cannot even tie their shoelaces!!! never mind produce a hard days work!!!!
