Joe Greenwell CBE, Chairman, Ford of Britain
I always look forward to the AFI sessions at Danesfield House. Ron and his team have been very successful in attracting well recognized and highly qualified speakers on a wide range of topics relevant to our industry. In any one meeting your agenda might include subjects such as climate change and Low CO2 automotive technologies, retail challenges, EU regulation, CRM, IT, consumer research, global industry projections, corporate strategy and leadership development. Presentations are short, content is strong, with lively debates.

Mark Squires, Chief Executive, Benfield Motor Group
AFI meetings are the only seminars or conferencing I do. Each event is a unique opportunity to network at the highest level within the industry and to hear a broad variety of leading experts and practitioners present their views on the key economic, environmental and developmental issues of the day. My days at AFI provide both invaluable "blue sky" thinking time and the opportunity to informally meet and discuss the current state of play in our marketplace with my peers. AFI meetings are both a pleasure and a privilege to attend.

Phillip Maskell, Chairman, Essex Auto Group
The obvious networking opportunity is excellent but the main benefit is to learn how the Industry is developing domestically and Globally. The presenters are well chosen with highly credible profiles. To hear of many best practices and innovative ideas. I always return to the Business inspired by either reinforcement of initiatives we already practice which spurs me on further or some new approach we had not thought of. It adds value and well worth the time and money investment.

Sarah Sillars OBE, Chief Executive, Institute of the Motor Industry
I value AFI meetings for the high level of informed debate and the innovative thinking which is created.
The high profile speakers AFI attracts together with the keen participation of its Members, result in a stimulating exchange of ideas.
AFI is a unique and valuable forum in the motor industry.

Marc Matthew, Chairman of The Retail Automotive Alliance Limited (RAA)
 It has been immensely rewarding and extremely informative for the RAA to be a subscribing member of the AFI. Ron and his team deliver first class, topical and up to date presenters who are articulate in their specialist fields passing on informative information from research and experience to the audience. The fellowship gives the Members important knowledge to enable us to make informed decisions; or to give us the opportunity to embrace ideals to allow us then to maximize potential that may not have been obvious or available to us. Furthermore the meetings are ideal ways to meet industry colleagues and take the time to discuss what’s happening in our industry through face to face conversations.
The RAA value our membership and would not hesitate to recommend any potential new member to join.

Michael Willmshurst, Chief Executive, Nationwide Accident Repair Services
It is invaluable for me to take advantage of hearing and meeting global leaders relevant to our industry, and to listen, learn and contribute to debates on vital issues facing our industry; to meet and exchange views and opinions with the most senior representatives of the motor, and motor related industries.

Nigel Stead, Managing Director, Lex Autolease
AFI meetings offer me the advantage of hearing and meeting global leaders relevant to our industry. To listen, learn and contribute to debate on vital issues facing our industry.
The ability to take a day out of the business to meet and exchange views and opinions with the most senior representatives of the motor, and motor related industries is invaluable.
