“As an independent motor factor situated amongst national giants of the motor factor world in Central Scotland it is easy to be overlooked.

When I was given the opportunity by Tom Henman, the editor of Professional Motor Factor, to be featured in the magazine, I jumped at the opportunity.

(July ‘22 to June ‘23)

“Having a four-page spread as our first feature gave the business amazing exposure in the infancy of me taking over. Having our name out there for market leaders to see is extremely important for sustainable growth.

EDITORIAL OPPORTUNITES What can we do for you?

Every issue captures the topics that appeal to motor factors

1

First-up, though, with so much of it around, we always start the magazine with a News round-up. We bring readers up-to-speed with the latest from motor factors themselves, workshops, manufacturers, suppliers or organisations – even a section dedicated to motorsport!

2

Does your company want a platform to have their voice heard? Has your company welcomed a new member of staff that motor factors need to know about? Does a member of senior management want to participate in an interview? A new brand to the aftermarket or want to highlight changes within your business structure? If so, People & Industry is the feature for you.

We also bring at least one motor factor interview and case study-a-month.

What's selling well? What products are doing better than expected? What trends are you seeing in the market? Trends is the perfect place to share that data.

Business covers all aspects of the factoring business, whether it be clever sales generators, innovative IT systems, fleet management tools, useful branch layout techniques, stock management, helpful point of sale materials or merchandise, ecommerce or warranties. If your company is hosting a training day, in partnership with a motor factor, get in touch and we can promote it – even better, we’d like to come along!

What’s new? It’s important motor factors are able to engage with technicians; providing salient ‘tech tips’ will help them stay abreast of techical evolutions, best practice and diagnosis. This is likely to strengthen the factor/workshop relationship.
