Service Dealer have confirmed the latest speaker for November's Service Dealer Conference.

Heather Wildman of Saviour Associates - who provide agribusiness clients access to sound unbiased advice, coaching and mentoring - will be addressing delegates on the hot button topic of succession.

Heather says she is renowned for her straight talking, no nonsense approach and for not being afraid of tackling difficult conversations. She has a fun, relaxed manner and has an energy that is contagious and inspiring  - soft skills with a sledge hammer is how she describes herself!

She has more than 26 years’ experience of working in the dairy and agricultural industry both in Scotland, UK and overseas and offers an enviable network and knowledge of global matters.

Heather specialises in providing independent advice, support and guidance for people and businesses to manage their own personal and business succession, through one-to-one discussions, workshops, seminars and conferences. She says of succession, "It’s important to plan for as we never know how long we have - and we also never know how much we could or can achieve.

"Be bold, be ambitious, but own it and then make it happen."

Service Dealer owner Duncan Murray-Clarke said, "We are delighted to confirm Heather for this year's Conference. We know that many of our dealer readers have real concerns regarding matters of succession. I'm sure Heather's matter-of-fact style will provide plenty of practical advice that will help to start conversations back in the dealership."

Taking place on Thursday 24th November 2022 once again at the Double Tree by Hilton Oxford Belfry Hotel, Thame, Oxfordshire, the theme for this year's event is Sustaining Dealerships.
