Written by Tyler Duffield on June 4, 2020

The IFT is delighted to announce the upcoming ‘Outlook for Automotive Retail during and after COVID-19’ Event to take place via webinar on 3rd June 2020.

The Chairman of ASE Global, Mike Jones, will be discussing the impact of Covid-19 on the UK Automotive industry and what this means for businesses as we work towards coming out of lockdown. Mike will also be covering some other aspects that are likely to effect the automotive industry over the course of the next year.

Mike is one of the industry’s leading experts on dealer profitability and heads up ASE’s work to analyse retail performance across a range of key markets.  Mike speaks regularly at events around the world on the industry landscape and the opportunities and challenges for dealers.  As well as profitability, he is an expert on digital dealership models, and how these are set to disrupt the automotive retail landscape.

Andrew Beckett of Kroll, a division of Duff & Phelps specialising in Risk management, will also be giving an insight into the Cyber issues threatening the sector and the impacts this can have on businesses.
This session will then be concluded by a Q&A session hosted by Paul Smith including both of our previous presenters
