There will no doubt be significant challenges ahead as our showrooms re-open over the coming weeks however, there are also exciting opportunities to innovate and develop our e-commerce offering across sales and aftersales. I look forward to leading West Way and collaborating with NMGB colleagues to help our industry reshape car retailing and secure a bright future.”
