25th ANNIVERSARY - A WALK BACK THROUGH TIME
Memories of those who shaped our industry

Service Dealer 25th -The Early Years

2013 is the 25th Anniversary of Service Dealer magazine, and to mark that we have introduced new branding to this weekly newsletter.

As ever, it's people who shape the industry.  In the first in a series of films,  we remember those who have graced the pages of our magazines, some regretfully no longer with us, but who will never be forgotten.

Our archives are bursting with memories, many of which will be recalled in future weeks
