Buffet lunch advisory

Attendees with any type of nut allergy should note that the museum cannot guarantee that its food or the products that it buys in do not contain nuts or traces of nuts. It does not have a nut-free kitchen or a completely separate nut-free area to prepare the catering, therefore it does not accept any responsibility for any allergic reactions. If an attendee’s allergy is that severe, they are advised to bring their own food and drink with them.

Session

How will EVs disrupt the car dealer status quo?

Used car pricing, the surge in electric car sales and what consumers really want from car dealers will be at the forefront of an exclusive Auto Trader presentation.

The advertising giant is the headline partner of Car Dealer Live, and Auto Trader chief operating officer Catherine Faiers has given Car Dealer a preview of what she’ll be presenting at the event.

She said in our video: ‘I’m really looking forward to the event. We’ll be looking to bring our unique insights into what’s happening with demand with car buyers, what we’re seeing on the supply side and what’s happening with pricing. And we’re looking to apply specifically an electric vehicle lens to that insight. We know that one of the big forces of change we’re going to see this year is electric used car vehicles increasingly growing in volume of stock.

‘And we’re seeing huge changes on the consumer side in the demand that we’re seeing from buyers for that stock, and in the behaviours that we’re seeing for those electric vehicle buyers. That will have huge implications for how retailers think about sourcing, pricing and advertising those cars.’

Auto Trader will also delve into the likely changes as the automotive industry accelerates towards the 2030 deadline.

Faiers added that she was looking forward to getting back to a live event where the industry can ‘connect and be back together’.
