NFDA highlights impact of delayed car dealer reopening in Scotland

,

On Friday 19 June, the National Franchised Dealers Association (NFDA) wrote to Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon MSP to highlight the potential impact of the delay in allowing dealerships to reopen in Scotland. While dealerships could reopen on 1 June in England, 8 June in Northern Ireland and 22 June in Wales, dealers in Scotland have been given the green light from 29 June.

The NFDA previously said there had been “positive trading” at dealerships in the other parts of the UK since reopening.
