Hopefully most of you are preparing to wind down for a well-earned Christmas break today - so I'll keep it brief to allow you to get on with the fun stuff!
Coming off the back of a trying season, it's possibly even more well earned than most years. So well done for getting this far and enjoy whatever it is you'll be doing over this festive period. When times are tough, these moments of kicking back and spending quality time with people who matter to you, are more important than ever.
Today's is the final Service Dealer Update of 2018. We'll be back with you on Friday January 4th - and throughout 2019. By then you should also have received the first issue of Service Dealer magazine of the year. A cracking edition, it features a full report of the recent Service Dealer Conference, all the Dealer of the Year winners, a Q&A with a leading dealer, reviews of the SALTEX & EIMA shows, a look ahead to both LAMMA and BTME, a new column from the U.S, the introduction of our new diarists, as well as all the regular features you've come to expect.
It continues to be a real pleasure to bring you all the news, developments, comment and opinion from this diverse industry - both each week in this Update and every other month in the magazine. As ever it's the people that make this industry what it is. So from myself, and all the team at Service Dealer, I would like to thank all our readers and our commercial partners for your continued support throughout this year. It is very much appreciated.
As little bit of Christmas fun, I'll leave you today with a game designed by the team here. If you make it as far as 12 points you can enter a draw to win a Wireless 1080p Video Doorbell. See, hear and talk to anyone at your door using your phone (it says here).
I'll be honest with you, it took me a while to get to 12 points. What didn't take me long though, was resorting to some quite blue language!
I suspect however, most you won't be as hopeless as me - so please enjoy.
Play the game here.
Good luck to you! And have a very happy Christmas and a prosperous new year.
Cheers!
Steve
