RMIF Supports Licensing The Trade

Fred Maguire, president of the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMIF) has openly supported government plans which may lead to garage licensing. He acknowledged that the government’s mystery shopping review of the trade had revealed serious problems which need to be addressed. In that light he was putting the support of the RMIF behind the “Good Garage Scheme”.

He also stated, “We can only achieve excellence by concerted efforts and improvement in training. So, as an industry we have to take positive action in the training arena. If RMIF members set this as their priority objective, they will have nothing to fear (from licensing).
