AM Awards 2012
15 February 2012
The 2012 AM Awards will take place on Wednesday 15th February at the International Convention Centre in Birmingham.
2011 will be remembered as a year of considerable challenges to our sector, a period of battening down the hatches to ride out of storm of stormy economic conditions and lack lustre consumer confidence. For dealers, success will be hard won and based around doing the basics well, a focus on customer service and meticulous attention to detail in all areas of the business.
Success in adversity should be shouted about because it is the true measure of performance – and that is why the next AM Awards is so important to your business.
An AM Award brings with it the respect of the industry and publicly acknowledges the importance of the people in your business and is an ideal way to give your teams a pat on the back. A great many dealers agreed last year, leading to a record number of entries.
As well as established and new judges – details will be revealed soon – we’re also delighted to welcome Christopher Macgowan, former chief executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders and visiting professor at Buckingham University’s Business School’s Centre for Automotive Management, as an independent chairman to the judging panel.
The journey to winning an AM Award begins here. Good luck.

AM Digital Dealer Conference
21 February 2012
The Internet continues to evolve and social networking sites are attracting millions of users worldwide every day – all at a rapid pace.
Motor retailers cannot afford to fall behind on the latest technology, some are not, and are leading the field, while others have not recognised the power of these networks and lag behind.
The AM Digital Dealer Conference will help dealers by providing examples into what is available and which solution will best help to meet and exceed overall objectives of their business. It aims to provide insight into the Social Media Revolution – how to measure, monitor and how to use on a daily basis – providing more customer contact and more sales.
In addition to the conference, the event will include the AM Digital Fair. This fair will include a limited number of trade stands that will help dealer professionals gain insight into current digital practices and learn about the latest emerging technologies, innovations and social media solutions.
