Bank of Scotland Dealer Finance has launched a training scheme to boost productivity and profits for its dealers.

The Elevation programme will offer courses to bring professionalism to the showroom and improve processes in a dealer’s business.

It will provide a health check for dealers, which will analyse F & I performance and identify key challenges, before finding solutions to suit each dealership.

Peter Cottle, head of strategic accounts at Bank of Scotland Dealer Finance, said: “New car sales are being heavily supported by manufacturer subventive programmes which have a negative impact on dealer income.

Many of our dealer partners understand that training boosts productivity and profit.”

It is donating £10 to BEN for every dealer employee who registers for a course of at least one day.
