Daksh Gupta, chief executive of Marshall Motor Holdings, kicked off day one of Automotive Management Live Virtual this morning with an insightful interview in which he outlined the concerns of furloughing staff and the opportunities ahead of new dealer reward models.
During a 40-minute interview Gupta told AM that some question why more employees aren’t on furlough as the UK endures repeated lockdowns that require car showrooms to close, but Marshall’s concerns, as a Great Place to Work, of course include the mental wellbeing of employees, who in some cases may live alone, so Gupta pointed out that the decision is not an easy one.
Marshall Motor Holdings Plc (LON:MMH), together with its subsidiaries, engages in retailing passenger cars and commercial vehicles in the United Kingdom. It sells new and used vehicles; and provides after sales services, such as servicing, body shop repairs, and parts sales.
