Starting today we are serialising a roundtable discussion between Service Dealer's Duncan Murray-Clarke and dealer Jo Balmer of Balmers GM, with Bob Clements and Sarah Hey of U.S dealer training experts Bob Clements International.

In part one they consider the current differences between the UK and US OPE markets.

They look at how the dealer experience on both sides of the Atlantic compares and contrasts – covering areas including inflation, fuel prices and the rise (or otherwise) of robotic mowing solutions.

Further parts of their far-reaching discussion will follow in subsequent weeks.

Watch now as part of Service Dealer's Equip Digital Special Report.
