Dealer showroom reopenings during April are the subject of the first in what is expected to be a regular series of commentary documents from the Vehicle Remarketing Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Called a \u201cFive Minute Briefing\u201d, it asks experts from the industry body\u2019s board to summarise in 100 words what they believe will be the impact of this important retail change within their specialist area of remarketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first features Jonathan Butler, partner and head of automotive at Geldard\u2019s; remarketing consultant Cliff Deller; Duncan Josey, digital marketing director, AutoTrader UK; Rupert Pontin, director of insight, Cazana; Sam Watkins, commercial director, Manheim Vehicle Services; Jayson Whittington, chief editor, Glass\u2019s; and Gary Xuereb, commercial director, DMN Logistics<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Philip Nothard, chair at the VRA, whose views are also included in the document, said: \u201cOur organisation encompasses many different areas of the remarketing sector \u2013 from vehicle logistics to vehicle services, from trade values to online marketing \u2013 and the \u2018Five Minute Briefing\u2019 allows us to draw on the expertise within the organisation to provide a short but highly informative overview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe prospect of showrooms reopening is potentially one of the most important developments of the year for the used vehicle world and the new document delivers essential commentary for those working within the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn the future, we plan to apply the same format to a range of other subjects facing the remarketing industry as they arise. It\u2019s very much a question of \u2018watch this space.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
