🎙️EXCLUSIVE POD
INTERVIEW
We’re delighted to welcome
back Steve Young, MD of ICDP, the automotive retailing consultancy,
and MD of Auto West London, the all-new Omoda and Jaecoo site,
which opened in March.
Lots to talk about including his new experiences as a car
retailer representing two new Chinese brands.
As part of Çetas Otomotiv, the largest dealer group in
Turkey, the new business is set for growth in the UK and Steve
shares some of those ambitions.
And with his industry guru hat on, we ask Steve for his take
on how Trump’s tariffs will impact UK car production and exports
and EU sales into the UK.
Plus, we take a look at the newly published ICDP Top 300
European franchised dealer groups.
