  2. We now have three - four if you include MPD, national factors. The market has never sustained one! they have all gone bust. They all have the same business model and try to undercut each other with the same brands. They treat garages as targets to be milked, then moan about lack of loyalty. It will get worse as they want to digitalise the market. Good luck with that.

  3. What a challenge this guy has. The weakest of the nationals. A mixed group of different business brands that are nowhere near the level they were. A buying operation that wouldn't recognise an opportunity if it smacked them in the face. Same old business model, fighting on price with the big brands, badly buying from the Far East. Good luck.
