Automotive Management 10/03/97
My article this week is different, it is a plea for a little help from some of our readers. I want to know whether the way in which we operate is now slightly old fashioned, or whether we should stick to what we believe in to maintain our position in the market place.

Two sectors are enjoying good times. Football has the Premier League enjoying record gates, and World Cup Fever is about to descend. Our industry is reporting record registrations and maybe we are in the grip of takeover fever.

With Block Exemption a big talking point at the moment, I thought that I would not bother you further with it. I have written enough about it over the years, and after the publication of the draft proposals, enough will be put into print to fell quite a large rainforest.

You know what time planning is like. About 15 minutes ago I was bumbling along quite happily, looking at this CV, talking to that candidate, generally getting through my allotted tasks for the day.

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM:
You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.

Automotive Management June 2002
I don't really have very much to discuss as the topic this week, so I thought I would go on one of my Mid-summer rambles, talking about a number of issues that I have read about recently that I thought I could share.

So the ground war against terrorism has finally started. The world has to do what the world has to do and I will pass no comment other than in the way it directly affects me, my clients and my candidates. And I am certain that the effect will be profound, even if it takes some time to filter through.

Many of you will know that recently we have become a Limited Company. The growth we have enjoyed in the past three years means we have outgrown our old structure. We are ready to invest heavily in the future, and we needed to gear up to do so.

I was in the middle of writing a relatively boring but extremely earnest article about the upcoming changes in block exemption when two things happened. I had dinner with a number of dealer principals who were having real problems recruiting enough apprentices and young sales trainees. Then I sat down to read the recent analysis of A-level results.

I am grateful to MTS Knowledge for printing this snippet below. It was supposedly out of the mouth of GM (who says big corporations take life too seriously) in response to Bill Gates' oft quoted comparison between the car and the computer.
