Dealer group leaders will be able to ask for advice on pressing issues such as EV sales targets, network profitability and recruitment from the National Franchised Dealer Association at Automotive Management Live this November.

The NFDA is once again partnering with Automotive Management Live ahead of the insight-packed event at Birmingham National Exhibition Centre on November 13, which will keep dealers informed on business-critical issues and topics from aftersales profitability and FCA compliance to customer relationship management and used car stock management.

The NFDA is the organisation that gives a voice to franchised car and commercial vehicle retailers in the UK.

Its senior team, including chief executive Sue Robinson, will be at Automotive Management Live 2024 just weeks after they will have been busy promoting the UK's 4,500 franchised dealerships and 540,000 workforce to politicians and policy shapers at the Liberal Democrats, Labour Party and Conservative Party annual conferences.

The staff on the NFDA stand will be keen to hear from dealers about any of their pressing issues, whether it's the continuing technician shortage, manufacturers' EV incentives or something else.

Sue Robinson, NFDA chief executive, said: “NFDA is thrilled to be continuing its partnership with AM for this year’s Automotive Management Live. 

NFDA chief executive, Sue Robinson“This event is set to be a valuable opportunity for dealers, offering a wealth of information and insights on the most pressing issues currently impacting the automotive sector. 

“Attendees can look forward to a comprehensive programme that will delve into key challenges and emerging trends.

“We look forward to engaging with NFDA members throughout the event. If you will be attending, we warmly invite you to visit us at our stand.”
