The best hires aren't always the most experienced ones.

The best technicians in the industry didn't all start as finished products, a lot of them were built through apprenticeships. Worth thinking about who you're training up, not just who you're hiring in.

The used car market may be stabilising, but competition for the right stock isn't going away.

For UK dealers, tighter margins mean every purchasing decision matters. Having the right vehicles on the forecourt is only part of the equation. Having the right people to source, prepare, sell and manage that stock can make just as much difference.

Great stock needs a great team behind it. Let's build yours.

A diagnostics queue longer than the ramp itself?

For many workshops, diagnostic delays aren't just about the number of vehicles coming through the door. Time can quickly be lost waiting for equipment, tracking down information, identifying the fault or getting the right technician available.

Windscreen wipers can be traced back to Mary Anderson, who noticed a streetcar driver struggling to see through snow and sleet and designed a way to clear the glass from inside the vehicle.

Sometimes the most useful fix is simply paying attention to the problem everyone else has learned to put up with.
