Happy New Year! As we welcome 2024, we extend our warmest wishes for a year filled with prosperity, success, and continued growth. We recognise the resilience and dedication you have shown, especially in light of the ongoing cost of living crisis which has undeniably presented unique challenges within the motor trade sector, particularly in new and used car sales.

This year, we’re not hoping for a better future; we’re shaping it. In response to the financial pressures our industry faces, we’re actively promoting our new warranty management system, an exclusive, complimentary offering for our members. It has already helped some of our members achieve substantial savings, as demonstrated in our six-month overview below.

Collectively, our dealers issued 981 warranties in a six-month period and told us if using traditional insurance warranties, they would expect to pay out over £1,173,972.00 in the same timeframe. By using our system, our dealers amazingly only had to pay out £17,899.65 altogether in a six-month period, which left an astonishing £1,156,072.35 in the collective warranty pot. Our new system empowers you to take control of your warranties. We’re encouraging our members to move away from traditional, costly insurance warranties and embrace the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of managing your own.

In these trying times, our commitment to supporting you remains steadfast. The introduction of our warranty management system is a testament to our dedication to providing practical, cost-effective solutions tailored to your needs. We believe that together, we can navigate the complexities of the current economic landscape, turning challenges into opportunities for growth and success.

We are confidently stepping into 2024, equipped with the tools, knowledge, and support to thrive in an ever-evolving industry.
