Dear AM-online users, it’s time to tell you of an important and exciting development at AM.
We are planning to transform digitally towards a more sustainable future where we put the focus on our website and newsletters, as well as our highly successful events, webinars and podcast.
We will also produce new digital 'Industry Special' reports, offering insight into all the key elements of motor retailing as our industry evolves rapidly digitally, supports consumers in their transition to zero emission vehicles and trials new retail business models.
Please see further down this page to find out what we have in store for 2023. If you’d like to opt-in and ensure you see our new content please register.
AM magazine
March 2023 will be our final issue of AM magazine, in both digital and print format.
Our journalism will continue on our digital channels (AM-online, podcasts, webinars, online industry reports) only.
AM needs to be more flexible, agile, accessible, and distinctive and we are confident that this development will achieve our goals.
This will ensure we continue to enable senior management in franchised dealers, independent dealers and aftersales to make informed decisions, navigate change, save costs and deliver profitable and sustainable business growth.
Should you have any queries, please feel free to contact us.
Yours sincerely,
Tim Rose
Editor – AM (Automotive Management)
