The dust settles…
Moving carefully towards the end of this watershed year. We are seeing what the “new business as usual looks like”. True colours seen, in some cases not what we would have hoped for from some big and no so big businesses.
The good news is steady and consistent improvement in business levels on all fronts and we hope our associates and friends are experiencing the same…
As the dust settles, an appropriate term for the aftermath of a collapse, we feel new confidence from customers and suppliers . This confidence is cautious and conservative, more like the mindset of our parents and grand parents. I considered entitling this piece ‘light at the end of the tunnel’. Somehow it just didn’t seem to convey where we’ve been and the devastation in the world of business and finance.
Good News Clients in the digital world, marketing and PR seem to have weathered the storm well, orders placed for Audi Q7, VW Touareg, Audi A3 and VW Golf. Also helping these and others dispose of existing fleet vehicles. Our legal partners looking strong with orders in for Audi A3 Cabriolet, A6, Q5 and Nissan Qashqai. On the local authority front, Security vehicles for a University and a bespoke road sweeping machine (100k) ordered for a large client.
Probably we’re not so well known for Vans as Cars. This month 10 vans (8 new, 2 Used) to 4 different companies.
In many cases assisting with a tax or cost efficient finance plan using our market knowledge and connections supported by our can do service culture!
Monitoring sources of business it is re-assuring to note 88% of new enquiries this year coming from referrals. Focussing on delivering more than just the cars and the money, our clients tell us they like to recommend us knowing we’ll do our best to not only offer the right package but make them look good too…
The dust is settling, we are working to make sure we do our part to accelerate the process. Supporting our business partners with the very best we can do. As anything short of this is simply not good enough anymore…
