SMMT Chief Executive Christopher Macgowan has welcomed the launch of a new website, www.mtsknowledge.co.uk, which provides a combination of best practice guidance for managers and aspiring managers in the UK automotive retailing sector.

Commenting on the launch, Christopher Macgowan said, "For anyone in retailing, MTS Knowledge is a must-visit website. It provides a wealth of valuable material ranging from important need-to-know reports on the industry through to career development and even solid advice about writing a CV."

He continues, "It has been an ongoing battle to get our great industry to recognise that people are our most important asset but a number of organisations now are enhancing the management training and staff development arena. MTS Knowledge will be a useful site for anyone wanting to accelerate their own development and have direct access to quality information".

www.mts.knowledge.co.uk includes guidance on sales, aftersales, HR, and general and financial management as well as downloadable business forms, strategic reports and other documents. Additionally it features regular analysis of commercial and market issues facing automotive retail managers.
