Volvo follows in the footsteps of Mercedes
So here we go with another OEM going the direct sales route. From June Volvo will be going agency, but it looks like it might be different to the Mercedes version of agency. Rumours we hear are that Volvo is keen to work with selected brokers – let’s certainly hope that is the case.
Anthony Flack cycle charity challenge
Anthony Flack – whom many of you will know from his Auto Platforms business – is riding nearly 300 miles for charity from London to Paris. It is for a good cause – the Urology Foundation – who specialise in bladder, prostate and kidney cancers. “I’m not the most finely honed athlete so the training has been hard but fun!” says Anthony. His charity ride takes place 01 June. It would be great to support him and the Foundation here.
