Car dealerships approach to staffing during the COVID-19 crisis has proved pivotal for the long-term profitability of businesses, according to MotorVise founder and MD Fraser Brown.
Customers are ready to return to showrooms after showrooms reopening on April 12, but dealerships must “hit the ground running” and “properly manage” the customers returning to their showrooms, he has said.
Brown said: “Many dealers have shed sales staff over the past 12 months, either through redundancy or through people leaving to take up new opportunities. That has meant some dealerships have been operating with a much smaller team and the danger is that they are exhausted.
Cutting off supply
Whereas Ireland have scored six of their eight tries from lineout ball in this year’s tournament, the Scots have yet to strike from the set-piece.
Yet, against England and Wales they dominated possession and with a collection of dangerous backs outside Finn Russell, it is key to limit or disrupt the supply out of touch.
So far, the most obvious example of Paul O’Connell’s influence on Ireland has been in the defensive lineout where the players and coaches are clearly working hard to identify patterns and triggers to anticipate where the opposition are going to throw the ball.
Inventions Comp 2021: Entries that will make you smile
Farmers Weekly’s Inventions Competition wouldn’t be the same without a batch of wacky entries – some of which save time or money and others built just for fun. This year’s crop includes a hot tub made from a skip, a horsebox-cum-bar and a screw-tank ATV.
Colin Furze’s Screw Tank
Unsatisfied with conventional modes of off-road transport, off-the-wall inventor Colin Furze came up with the Screw Tank.
This bizarre contraption propels itself around the countryside, both over land and water, thanks to two spinning cylindrical tanks mounted on either side of the machine. Together, these have sufficient buoyancy to keep the machine and operator afloat and a set of auger flights welded around the outside provide the propulsion.
Scotland s fearless Six Nations debutant Turner ready for England
Issued on: 1 min
London (AFP)
Scotland coach Gregor Townsend believes the fearless approach of George Turner will serve the hooker well against England at Twickenham on Saturday.
The Glasgow Warriors front-rower will be making his Six Nations debut in a match marking the 150th anniversary of rugby s oldest international.
With Fraser Brown and Stuart McInally both nursing neck injuries, the 13-times capped Turner will take his place in the starting lineup, with uncapped Edinburgh hooker David Cherry on the bench.
Townsend also had no qualms in selecting centre Cameron Redpath for his first Test this weekend because of his innate self-belief and said 28-year-old Turner has a similar attitude.
