The UK car market - are the good times back for good?

The last year surprised some in the trade with consistent new car sale growth and the UK car market continuing to outperform most of its European rivals. With the economic recovery now seemingly taking hold and consumer confidence returning strongly, the macro outlook appears to be set-fair. But we are well aware that the macro indicators don’t always match the day-to-day reality on the ground, so we want to know what life is really like for motor dealers at the moment; has the consumer really now returned to showrooms for the foreseeable future? Is the reality better or worse than the headlines would have us believe? If growth has returned is this being translated to the bottom line? Are funders stepping up to the plate and supporting your businesses to grow?

These are important questions with ramifications far beyond the motor trade and we would be appreciative if you could complete our survey which should take no more than 5 minutes to complete. The survey is open until Friday 18 October.

All responses are anonymous and recipients will be entered into a draw to win £250 vouchers of their choice.

Thank you in anticipation of your time.
