AM is keen to gain insight into the levels of support received from Government and car retailers’ manufacturer partners as they battle to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus lockdown.

In the second of two surveys which will deliver valuable insight for the forthcoming edition of the Automotive Management (AM) digital issue, we are asking dealers to take no more than two minutes to share their experiences in a short, multiple choice survey.

The ‘AM COVID-19 franchised car retailers' OEM and state support survey’ will aim to gather detail of what support has been received by automotive retail sector businesses so far and what many feel might come next.

As business begin to return staff previously furloughed under the Government Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) into their dealerships and prepare for showroom re-openings, such detail will help AM gauge the progress being made in the sector.

It will also help us as we interview key OEMs to ask them about their strategy to support their franchisees during this unprecedented period of crisis.

We wish to thank all those that have already contributed to the impressive response generated by out previous 'AM COVID-19 car retail recovery survey'.

Please join the debate and feed the discussion on sector support by completing the new ‘AM COVID-19 franchised car retailers' OEM and state support survey’ below:
