AM Awards winners, Nissan GB, LCV insight and more – the new AM Magazine

The packed October edition of AM Magazine has now landed, serving up news and pictures from the AM Awards 2021, an exclusive interview with Nissan GB’s MD, Top Tips for car retail profitability and lots more.

In a year that has seen the balance of what a bumper new car sales month shift is traditionally to aftersales and used cars, we also teamed-up with JudgeService to gauge the mood of the sector’s business leaders and hear more about their September strategy.

We also take a look at the challenges of LCV supply as van production stalls due to a global shortage of components.

Front page news are the results of the AM Awards 2021, though.

As AM celebrated the success of a landmark return to physical events and networking with our show-stopping event at the ICC, in Birmingham, we have no fewer that 42 pages dedicated toi the celebration of the sector’s best car retail performers.

Congratulations to all those that claimed an award or emerged with recognition as a highly commended operator.

In his interview feature with AM editor Tim Rose, Nissan GB managing director Andrew Humberstone reveals that the Japanese car maker’s approach is now “less about market share now”, adding: “It’s very much value over volume”.

In our regular ‘Five Minutes with…’ feature Jato Dynamics’ chief executive David Krajicek shares his vision for the global insight and consultancy business, his efforts to overcome COVID’s barriers to take on his new role in the automotive sector and reveals his view of the shift to EVs.

Our special aftersales spotlight section gives insight into how to target service customers digitally, how to prevent amber work slipping through the net and how best to ensure customers with older vehicles turn to your business time and time again.

There’s also a whole Top Tips section giving advice on how to leverage profitability across your car retail business.

And, on top of all that, we also squeezed-in a launch repot on the award-winning Hyundai Ioniq 5 electric vehicle (EV) and an ‘Eight Questions to…’ chat with Dean Dawson, DS concierge at DS Stafford.

Make sure you catch-up with all the latest from AM in our latest, October edition of our Digital Magazine.
