Representatives from many AM100 groups have already signed up for the November 11 event at the NEC, Birmingham, giving delegates the opportunity to learn, share ideas and make connections with their industry peers.

Six of the UK's 10 largest franchised dealer groups are already signed up to attend the show, including TrustFord and Greenhous alongside Sytner, Vertu, Lookers and Group 1.

Directors from Hendy, Swansway, Pentagon, Johnsons Cars and Hedin Automotive are also attending the show, together with groups like Steven Eagell, Perrys, Cambria, Snows and HR Owen.

Tim Rose, Automotive Management editor, said: "It's encouraging to see so many of the AM100 already getting ready to join us at the NEC on November 11.

"AM100 dealers coming to the show will be able to benchmark services from innovative suppliers, sense check their strategy and discover new vehicles like the Denza Z9GT and Bao 5.

“We know how difficult it can be to take a day away from the business, but this is also the one day each year where the entire automotive retail industry gets together.

"I would urge every AM100 dealer group to encourage their teams to register in advance for their free ticket and join us in just over a month's time."

Secure your free place for November 11 and join them at the NEC, Birmingham.
