THIS is your chance to understand more about The New Retail method of selling MINIs and to find out more about future product from BMW.
Ali Khawaja, who is BMW AG’s Global Product Trainer and works directly for Munich in emerging markets for product and dealer development, will be presenting on the new BMW product arriving to BMW retailers soon at the latest Broker News event on 15 May at Women in Broking Live!.
Open to both women and men, the event takes place at Partridge BMW and will also feature an update from Partridge BMW’s Georgina Dymond and Lukas Ryan on MINI’s The New Retail (TNR), also known as agency, and how this will work between Partridge BMW and leasing brokers.
We will also have our inspirational speaker Andrea Holland on her life at BMW, how she combined a swimming career and work, and why she decided to take the plunge and become a fulltime sports commentator.
“We have arranged a rich mix of stimulating speakers, offering professional and personal insight as well as providing intelligence on new BMW/MINI products and operations. It really is an event not to be missed. And let me reiterate, both women and men are welcome.”
There will be plenty of networking opportunities with funders, broker colleagues and our hosts at Partridge BMW on hand throughout the day.
Included are light refreshments in a day that starts at 1130 and finishes at 1500, along with mentoring opportunities with Sam Ward, the Operations Director of Vansdirect, and the first winner of our Women in Broking title three years ago.
“We’re delighted to host Women in Broking Live! and have the opportunity for Ali Khawaja, BMW AG’s Global Product Trainer, to join us and reveal the great BMW/MINI product you can expect in the future. There’s a lot of intelligence on offer - I look forward to welcoming our broker and funder colleagues to the day.”
