Dr Rebecca Harding, an advisor to the council of the Society of Professional Economists and former chief economist of the British Bankers Association, will deliver a keynote presentation at Automotive Management Live next month to help guide motor retailers through the turbulent economic conditions.
In the Inspiration Theatre, Harding will present a session entitled 'Riding The Economic Challenges', bringing forward her specialist knowledge of trade, trade finance and supply chains to examine the impact of current economic conditions on the UK's automotive retail sector and its employees.
Tim Rose, editor of AM, said: "Despite all the economic challenges the UK is experiencing, businesses need to carry on moving forward and protect their profitability.
"At the request of our AM Live visitor advisory board, this inspiring session will not just examine the economic challenges but will deliver suggestions and solutions.
"We're delighted to have such a knowledgeable and respected economic authority joining the extensive line-up of expert presenters at AM Live this year, and I'm confident that you will leave this session with some great takeaways to consider for your business."
Now chief executive of Coriolis Technologies, providing data as a service to the trade finance sector, Harding has held senior roles in business and academic institutions internationally, including founder and chief executive of Delta Economics, senior fellow at London Business School, head of corporate research at Deloitte and chief economist at think tank The Work Foundation.
She frequently appears on Sky News, BBC World and BBC Radio 5 live, Newsnight and Radio 4 and is regularly cited in the broadsheet press, including recent articles in the Financial Times, Telegraph and CityAM.
