🚗 INDEPENDENT DEALER SPECIAL! IMDA chairman and co-founder Umesh Samani in conversation with Philip and Curtis (E18, S12)

🚗 INDEPENDENT CAR DEALER SPECIAL! Umesh Samani is Curtis and Phil's special guest on this weekday Motor Trade Radio podcast, powered by MOTORS & Cazoo. Umesh will be a familiar name to many listeners for his tireless work over the years raising the profile of the independent sector as a chairman and co-founder of the Independent Motor Dealers Association (IMDA), which represents around 2,000 businesses and celebrates its 10th anniversary next year. Umesh is also the owner of Specialist Cars, in Stoke on Trent, which he has run since 1997, as well as the adjoining Harris Motor Company MOT and Service centre, which he acquired in 2016. Our wide-ranging conversation includes an update on the IMDA's activities, how it is looking after members and its commercial partner programme. Umesh also discusses Q1 trading in the used car market and the challenges and opportunities presented by independents stocking used EVs and more! Fun fact: Umesh joined the car retailing sector at the age of 16! #automotive
