It has been a long while since exciting events like Automotive Management Live (AM Live) have been on the agenda for V12VF.
The pandemic has been difficult to navigate for most industries and events have been no exception. At V12VF, we were counting down the days until we were able to get into the routine of a new normal. Thankfully, now we've been given a little more freedom, we're over the moon to be meeting dealers and working with our partners in person once again.
On Thursday 11th November, the V12VF team exhibited alongside 1link Trade Buyer, our latest partner, at the NEC in Birmingham. 1link Trade Buyer is a digital platform that allows dealers to purchase vehicles (smoothly utilising their V12VF stock funding facility) for their forecourt.

Our jointly branded stand showed the power of our partnerships with our vehicle and auction partners. We had lots of useful conversations with people within the industry and also spoke to plenty of old acquaintances too! Thanks to the team at 1link, who helped make the day the success it was.
We attended many interesting seminars about the current state of the used motor market and what 2022 will bring from thought leaders of the industry. Our partner, Codeweavers, ran a great session regarding acceptance rates and selling more vehicles and Ivendi gave insight into automotive technology and its importance with regard to transforming the consumer digital sales journey. All of the useful insight has given us a great outlook on where we're headed and how we're ahead of the curve with regard to supporting dealers that are integrating with digital technology.
If you didn't get to attend the event, or just didn't get a chance to speak with us on the day, please do reach out. We're more than happy to speak with you!
