Events

Motor Trader also has a growing portfolio of events.

Each July Motor Trader hosts the Motor Trader Awards which recognise and reward achievements across 20 key business areas at a gala dinner in London's West End. The event attracts over 1,200 industry professionals and is widely seen as the car retailing sector's Oscars.

Motor Trader also hosts the annual Open Points Road Show in May. This unique event is open to dealer managers and owners looking to either take on a new franchise or change their current one and enables them to test drive the latest generation cars and discuss franchising opportunities with car brands looking to fill open points in their networks.

Other events in the Motor Trader calendar include regular conference and seminar programmes plus an industry wide five-a-side football tournament.
