Ford is simultaneously restructuring, creating a new "Product Creation and Industrialization" organisation under COO Kumar Galhotra that unifies EV, petrol, and hybrid programmes, with the first vehicle on Ford's new Universal EV architecture — a midsize electric pickup — due next year.DACIA READIES SUB-£16,000 ELECTRIC CITY CARDacia has revealed spy shots of a new electric city car priced from under €18,000 (£15,600), designed in just 16 months with help from its China team, featuring a design closer to its SUV range than the related Renault Twingo. Expected to use a 27.5kWh battery with around 160 miles of range, the car will make its public debut at the Paris Motor Show in October 2026, with Dacia also planning three further EVs before 2030.MERCEDES-BENZ LAUNCHES VLE RANGE FROM €82,260Mercedes-Benz has launched the VLE range starting at €82,260, built on an 800-volt architecture capable of charging at up to 300 kW, enabling 355 km of WLTP range to be added in just 15 minutes. The range spans from the entry-level VLE 250 with an LFP battery to the VLE 400 4MATIC with a 305 kW all-wheel-drive system, with seating configurations from five to eight seats and pricing up to €113,000 depending on specification.KIA EV2 FIRST EDITION JOINS UK ECGThe Kia EV2 First Edition now qualifies for the UK government's £1,500 Electric Car Grant, bringing its net on-the-road price to £26,995. The EV2 had its world premiere in January 2026, entered series production in March at Kia's Slovakia plant, and sits as the entry point to Kia's dedicated BEV line-up designed and built in Europe.FREE ELECTRICITY ON GERMAN V2G TARIFFMunich-based The Mobility House plans to launch a V2G electricity tariff in Germany, initially paired with the Renault 5, that could allow EV owners to drive for free by charging when renewable energy is cheap and selling power back to the grid at peak times. A 2024 French pilot with Renault showed that connecting a car for an average of 14 hours per day can reduce charging costs for 10,000 km of driving to effectively zero, with the Mercedes-Benz CLA and GLC also set to join the programme later in 2026.BYD GAINS GROUND IN GERMANYBYD is surging in Germany, with Carwow recording a 135% jump in purchase queries for the brand in Q1 2026, driven by rising fuel prices linked to the Middle East conflict and increasing new car costs making Chinese EVs more attractive. Interest centred on BYD's electric SUVs and the Dolphin hatchback, with Chinese-owned MG also seeing increased demand on the platform.BYD'S JINAN HEADS FOR GERMANYBYD's car carrier Jinan, one of the world's largest at 9,200-vehicle capacity, departed Shanghai on 17 March carrying fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles bound for Germany, arriving around 33 days later. The shipment highlights BYD's continued reliance on Chinese exports while European local production ramps up, with trial assembly underway in Szeged, Hungary since January and series production targeted for Q2 2026.BYD PRICES SEAL 6 PHEVS IN AUSTRALIABYD Australia has confirmed pricing for the Seal 6 Sedan and Seal 6 Touring PHEVs, with the Sedan Essential starting at A$34,990 (around £18,380) — undercutting the Toyota Camry Hybrid — and first deliveries expected around June 2026. Both models use BYD's DM 5.0 plug-in hybrid system with Blade battery technology, offering 55 km electric range on the Sedan and around 100 km on the Touring Premium.POLESTAR AUSTRALIA BOSS ATTACKS PHEVSPolestar Australia's managing director Scott Maynard has publicly called PHEVs "the worst of both worlds," arguing they combine electric drivetrain complexity with petrol engine weight, rarely get charged by owners, and can actually be less efficient than a pure petrol car due to the added battery mass. He also claimed PHEVs are "fast becoming irrelevant" as EV range improves — a notable stance given that Polestar's parent company Geely continues to sell PHEVs across Volvo, Lotus, and Lynk & Co.TESLA ADDS SUNWODA AS FIFTH BATTERY SUPPLIERTesla has signed Sunwoda Electric Vehicle Battery as its fifth battery supplier, with Sunwoda set to provide third-generation LFP cells capable of charging at up to 3C — cutting charge time to around 20 minutes, compared to Tesla's current 2C LFP packs. The cells are destined for export vehicles built at Giga Shanghai, with Tesla buying raw prismatic cells from Sunwoda and assembling the modules and packs in-house.HONDA DROPS E:NY1 FROM UK LINE-UPHonda has removed the e:Ny1 from its UK configurator, leaving it with no fully electric models on sale in Britain after the car sold just 7,122 units in three years, hampered by a high price and limited range requiring heavy dealer discounts. This creates a serious ZEV mandate problem for Honda, which must hit 22% BEV sales this year rising to 80% by 2030, with fines of up to £15,000 per non-compliant vehicle — relief is expected from mid-2026 when a retro-inspired compact EV on the new Super-N platform arrives priced under £20,000.

What happens when a former professional footballer and football agent walks into the motor trade… and decides to build a dealership with "more care, more style, and a lot less ego"? In this episode, I'm joined by Josh Apps, founder of V12 Automobil in Central London. Josh didn't grow up in the trade. He's built V12 from scratch since 2022, and he's straight-talking about what actually works when you're buying and selling everything from a £20k GLC to a £1m+ hypercar.  We get into the real mechanics of his business, like underwriting stock, consignment done properly, why some dealers go bust with SOR, what he's seeing on Carwow and Motorway, and how he thinks about margin, risk, and stock turn in a market where plenty of people are trying to make £5k the easy way instead of £9k the stressful way.  Episode highlights: The mindset shift from football + agency life into running a dealership, and what skills actually transfer. Josh's take on consignment/SOR: why it can work, why it often blows up, and the process that stops you "playing with other people's money". How he sources stock day-to-day (dealers, auctions, Carwow/Motorway, LinkedIn, banks) and why access to stock is both easier and messier now. The uncomfortable truth about online buying platforms: inflated offers, knock-backs, cars reappearing, and how it creates friction for customers and dealers. A proper "car dealer war story": the Range Rover that turned into an engine rebuild, a transport job, and a stress test in customer service. The simple but rare philosophy that's kept his reviews and referrals strong: do the right thing even when it costs.   Finding this useful? Follow the show About Symco Training: Symco Training was founded in 2000 by Simon Bowkett and it was his belief that the business had to offer its clients something different. That difference was clear to Simon from his days in the dealership when he experienced many sales trainers who had all the answers, but were unable, unwilling or both to actually show the delegate how they could be implemented. It remains the ethos of the business today. You see, Symco only employ trainers that are committed to delivering not only in spiring and insightful training, but are equally as happy to demonstrate these skills and techniques with real customers in your own showroom. We believe in order for sales training to be effective and in Simon's words 'real world', it needs to be tried and tested in the only place it matters the showroom floor. There is no room for theory when your goals are for your team to sell more cars, hours or parts and retain more profit. In dealerships around the world the focus applied by many of the sales executives is to try and sell a deal. Symco specialise in getting your teams to focus on selling themselves, the product and then supporting this with the deal. To find out more visit: www.symcotraining.co.uk

En este programa especial de cierre de año participan Antonio R. Vaquerizo, Alex Moya, Javier Quilón, Jose Lagunar, Rubén Gómez y Fernando Rivas, junto a dos invitados clave del sector: Juan Francisco Calero, alma mater y cara visible de Carwow España, y Nacho Rabadán, director general de la Confederación Española de Empresarios de Estaciones de Servicio. Un elenco que refleja el peso del periodismo del motor, la comunicación y la creación de opinión en España. Cerramos el año con un programa muy especial marcado por el agradecimiento a nuestra audiencia. Ha sido un año espectacular en crecimiento, alcance e impacto, y nada de ello habría sido posible sin los oyentes que nos acompañan, nos escuchan y nos empujan a seguir creciendo como medio independiente, con criterio propio y compromiso informativo. Ponemos en valor el papel de los medios de comunicación como creadores de opinión y defensores del ciudadano. Analizamos la responsabilidad de informar, la necesidad de incomodar cuando toca y la importancia de fiscalizar a la administración para contar lo que otros no cuentan, especialmente en un sector tan estratégico como el de la automoción y la movilidad. Repasamos el Coche del Año de la Radio, con once finalistas a lo largo de 2024 y un ganador que se desvelará el 29 de enero. Analizamos los modelos protagonistas mes a mes, desde el Seat Ibiza y el Audi A6 e-tron hasta el KIA EV3, Dacia Bigster, Hyundai Inster, Renault 4, Mazda 6e, Omoda 7, Citroën C5 Aircross, Santana 400 y Ebro S90, además de un verano cargado de contenido más allá del producto. Con Juan Francisco Calero repasamos su trayectoria antes de llegar al periodismo del motor, sus primeros pasos en el sector de la automoción y las razones que le llevaron a cambiar de rumbo profesional hasta convertirse en una de las voces más influyentes del sector en España. Dedicamos un bloque clave a la seguridad vial, con especial atención a la baliza V16. Analizamos la cronología completa de este dispositivo, las decisiones tomadas, las contradicciones normativas y por qué sigue siendo un ejemplo de mala gestión, apoyándonos en datos, razonamientos y hechos contrastados. Abordamos el papel de la Comisión Europea y el futuro del motor de combustión más allá de 2035. Analizamos si realmente habrá margen para la combustión o si el mensaje es más político que técnico, junto a las nuevas cuotas obligatorias de electrificación de flotas corporativas, los porcentajes fijados para España y el impacto real que tendrán en empresas, usuarios y mercado. Entramos a fondo en Carwow como proyecto líder del sector del motor, su modelo de negocio, su crecimiento en España y qué hace falta realmente para crear, escalar y vender con éxito un canal de YouTube en un entorno cada vez más competitivo. En la sección de AutoScout24, junto a Alex Moya, repasamos los coches que han marcado la vida de Juan Francisco Calero desde los 18 años, incluidos modelos icónicos como el Audi R8 V10 GT, Porsche Boxster Spyder RS, BMW M5 30 Aniversario o Renault 5 Turbo, además de los coches que tendría en su garaje como probador. Rubén Gómez nos trae sus curiosidades más virales y surrealistas, con situaciones reales del tráfico que arrancan una sonrisa y reflejan hasta dónde puede llegar el comportamiento humano al volante. ¡Un conductor maneja su coche con comida como volante, increíble! Cerramos celebrando el millón de suscriptores en YouTube de Juan Francisco Calero, analizando qué ha significado este hito para él y para Carwow, y repasando el crecimiento imparable del resto de sus canales, consolidando su posición como referente absoluto del periodismo del motor digital.

En Capital Intereconomía repasamos las claves del día y la evolución de los mercados en Asia, Wall Street y Europa, con los inversores atentos al impacto del fin del cierre de gobierno en EE.UU. y al dato de inflación que podría marcar el ritmo de la política monetaria. En el primer análisis de la mañana, Alexis Ortega, asesor independiente, explicó que el fin del shutdown actúa como “gasolina para las Bolsas”, al reducir la incertidumbre y reactivar el apetito por el riesgo. Ortega subrayó que los activos más beneficiados podrían ser los índices europeos, la renta variable estadounidense y algunos sectores cíclicos, mientras que la atención del mercado se centra ahora en el IPC de EE.UU. y en una posible rebaja de tipos de 50 puntos básicos por parte de la Fed si la inflación continúa moderándose. También destacó que la temporada de resultados empresariales ha sido sólida en términos generales, pero con señales de agotamiento en los márgenes de beneficio, especialmente en sectores tecnológicos y de consumo. En la entrevista del día, Juan Francisco Calero, Director Editorial de Carwow.es, analizó el momento que atraviesa el sector automovilístico europeo, presionado por la caída de ventas, el cumplimiento de objetivos de emisiones y la competencia creciente de China, que se consolida como el mayor mercado automovilístico del mundo. Calero explicó que compañías como Porsche Automobil Holding SE —matriz financiera que controla parte de Volkswagen— enfrentan el reto de mantener rentabilidad en un entorno de transición eléctrica y normativa más exigente, mientras que la reciente decisión de China de permitir la exportación de chips de Nexperia supone un respiro para la industria y un posible impulso para la cadena de suministro automotriz europea.

In this episode of The Product Experience, Lily Smith speaks with Sally Foote, a seasoned product leader whose journey from product roles to C-suite commercial leadership spans Carwow, Go Compare, and The Guardian. They unpack the increasingly vital intersection between product, marketing, and sales.Sally explains why growth is a shared responsibility, how product managers can become commercially fluent, and why understanding marketing economics is now critical. Expect actionable advice on working across functions, owning growth levers, and designing products that fuel acquisition and retention. Whether you're in B2B or B2C, there's something in here for every product leader looking to elevate their commercial impact.Key Takeaways:— Modern product managers must understand marketing funnels, ROI, and acquisition costs to create scalable impact.— Propositions beat PPC: In saturated digital channels, differentiation must come from product innovation.— Stop the handoffs: A strict separation between product, marketing, and sales creates missed opportunities and inefficiencies.— Product roadmaps matter to the business: While sometimes shunned by PMs, roadmaps help align and activate sales and marketing functions.— Product marketing isn't enough: What's needed is cross-functional growth thinking—not just better product copy.— B2B is a rich source of insights: Embedding PMs in sales cycles and advisory panels unlocks product innovation directly from the source.— AI is reshaping go-to-market: From focus groups to pricing strategies, machine learning is changing how teams make commercial decisions.— Your funnel is only as good as your data: PMs should design products with marketing data needs in mind to drive better acquisition performance.Featured Links: Follow Sally on LinkedIn | YourRoom AI focus group | Carwow | Watch Sally's 'Maximum Possible Products' talk at #mtpcon London 2019 | Sustainable living made easy with Bower Collective Our HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.

Kota, the insurance benefits platform and API, has announced it has raised $14.5m in Series A funding bringing total funding to $22.9 million. The round was led by Eurazeo, along with existing investors EQT Ventures, Northzone, Frontline Ventures and new investors in 9Yards and Plug and Play. The investment will power Kota's mission to make employee benefits globally accessible and frictionless for employees - delivered through its intuitive platform and flexible API. Alongside their Series A, they are also announcing that they've obtained their Central Bank of Ireland Authorisation, making it one of the few technology platforms to be regulated . Kota is rebuilding employee benefits from the ground up. Millions miss out on essentials like pensions and healthcare - not because employers don't care, but because the system is broken. Legacy providers, PDFs, and manual processes make benefits inaccessible and unmanageable. Kota fixes this. Like Revolut did for banking, Kota delivers a modern, user-first experience for employee benefits. It integrates directly with insurers and pension providers, giving employees real-time access and control, and HR teams a single, reliable platform to manage everything. By combining their regulation, infrastructure, and user friendly platform and app, they make benefits effortless for HR & Finance, and engaging for employees. The funding will be used to expand the Kota team, increase the variety of insurance carrier partners in its products, and accelerate customer acquisition. Luke Mackey Founder and CEO said "Employee benefits, which can make up 25% of total compensation, are systematically undervalued and expensive. I experienced this as a founder and a GM -- managing benefits in email, between brokers and insurance companies, completely disconnected and alien from anything else in the business. It's entirely out of date. Ultimately, no one on the team connected or engaged with them, no matter how much we invested. It's not surprising. Insurance benefits are delivered in clunky portals or in PDFs, which is so un engaging compared to the financial experiences employees are used to.Kota integrates directly with insurance companies so we can control that experience and make it easy to roll out and run benefits, no matter who you are or where your team is. This means that employees can quickly understand, enrol, access coverage, retirement plans, or other benefits, and actually value them." Elise Stern from Eurazeo said "Kota really stood out to us. With a tech-first approach, they've built a robust technical and financial infrastructure: deep integrations with insurers across dozens of countries, visibility across the benefits stack, and a seamless API that allows partners - from HRIS to payroll - to embed benefits natively." Since launching in 2023, Kota has helped hundreds of small and medium sized companies seamlessly access, easily manage, along with tens of thousands of employees understand and value their cover. Kota integrates with and offers some of Europe's leading insurance providers, like Vitality in the UK, ONVZ in the Netherlands, Sanitas in Spain, Irish Life Health in Ireland, Allianz Global Care internationally, and many more. Kota powers benefits for Remote.com, and has become the benefits platform of choice for leading scale-ups across Europe such as Zoe Health, Poolside, Carwow, Tines, &Open and Protex AI. Last year, they launched Kota Embed, their embedded insurance offering for HR platforms to make insurance benefits available to their customers without leaving their HRIS or Payroll tool, with customers like Remote, Helios and insurance companies like Irish Life Health as customers. Historically employee benefits have lived offline outside the stack that HR and employees have come accustomed to and are difficult to manage and understand. Employee benefits, while growing into a $70bn market, are still completely unfit for lean, forward-thinking start-ups and scale-ups - parti...

Die aktuellen Wirtschaftsnachrichten mit Michael Weyland   Thema heute:      Auto Shanghai 2025:  Chinesische Hersteller setzen neue Maßstäbe - Carwow-Umfrage zeigt differenzierte Wahrnehmung in Deutschland     Die Auto Shanghai 2025, eine der weltweit wichtigsten Automobilmessen, die noch bis zum 02. Mai ihre Tore geöffnet hat, gibt einen eindrucksvollen Ausblick auf die Zukunft der Mobilität.  Für Carwow, die Online-Plattform für alles rund ums Auto, sind die technologische Innovationskraft und der dominante Auftritt chinesischer Automobilhersteller auch für den europäischen Markt von großer Relevanz. Vor diesem Hintergrund hat Carwow die Wahrnehmung chinesischer Automobilmarken in Deutschland genauer untersucht.  Während Marken wie BYD, Nio und Xpeng zunehmend an Bekanntheit gewinnen, bestehen nach wie vor erhebliche Vorbehalte bei potenziellen Autokäufern.   "Innovation begegnet einem auf Schritt und Tritt" - Eindrücke von der Messe "Die Geschwindigkeit des Wandels in der Automobilwelt ist hier in Shanghai förmlich greifbar", sagt man bei Carwow. "Schnellladetechnologien, größere Batterien, Fortschritte beim assistierten und autonomen Fahren - Innovation begegnet einem auf Schritt und Tritt. Besonders eindrucksvoll ist die Vielzahl neuer Modelle, von denen viele bereits kurz nach ihrer ursprünglichen Markteinführung überarbeitet werden." Auch jenseits der Messehallen zeigt sich ein deutliches Bild: "Im Straßenbild dominieren inzwischen lokale Marken wie BYD, Aito, Zeekr, Xpeng und Nio - westliche Marken treten sichtbar in den Hintergrund. Diese Dynamik wird auch Europa verändern." Ein wesentlicher Unterschied zu früheren Markteintritten: "Chinesische Hersteller planen gezielt in Aftersales-Strukturen, Markenaufbau und Marketing zu investieren, bevor sie in den Verkauf starten. Das ist eine neue Qualität."   Wachsende Bekanntheit, aber auch Zurückhaltung - Ergebnisse der Carwow-Umfrage Eine aktuelle Carwow-Umfrage aus April 2025 mit über 1.000 Teilnehmern zeigt, dass BYD mit 73 % den höchsten Bekanntheitsgrad unter chinesischen Marken aufweist, gefolgt von Nio mit 43 % und Xpeng mit 35 %. Gleichzeitig gaben jedoch nur 42 % der Befragten an, den Kauf eines Fahrzeugs einer chinesischen Marke in Erwägung zu ziehen - ein klares Signal für eine noch vorhandene Vertrauenslücke. Etablierte deutsche Marken können weiterhin punkten, vor allem in den Bereichen Nachsorge und Service: 42 % der Befragten äußerten Bedenken hinsichtlich des Service- und Werkstattnetzes chinesischer Marken - ein Bereich, in dem etablierte deutsche Hersteller traditionell stark sind.

Philipp Sayler von Amende, Chief Commercial Officer for Carwow UK, joins us in this episode. Philipp grew up in the industry, as is parents had Renault, JLR and Volvo franchise dealerships. He has a great passion for the industry and has over 20 years' experience in international markets. With that wealth of knowledge, we discuss everything from customer service, used cars, EV values to AI. Here are the highlights: {05:00} Bamboo Bikes {11:18} We all have the same goals {15:06} Challenge is in the detail {19:00} Customer Service {22:10} Used Cars {26:37} Carwow's Double Deal {34:00} EV Valuations {38:37} AI About Symco Training: Symco Training was founded in 2000 by Simon Bowkett and it was his belief that the business had to offer its clients something different. That difference was clear to Simon from his days in the dealership when he experienced many sales trainers who had all the answers, but were unable, unwilling or both to actually show the delegate how they could be implemented. It remains the ethos of the business today. You see, Symco only employ trainers that are committed to delivering not only in spiring and insightful training, but are equally as happy to demonstrate these skills and techniques with real customers in your own showroom. We believe in order for sales training to be effective and in Simon's words ‘real world', it needs to be tried and tested in the only place it matters the showroom floor. There is no room for theory when your goals are for your team to sell more cars, hours or parts and retain more profit. In dealerships around the world the focus applied by many of the sales executives is to try and sell a deal. Symco specialise in getting your teams to focus on selling themselves, the product and then supporting this with the deal. To find out more visit: www.symcotraining.co.uk

Les annonceurs vont désormais pouvoir mesurer l'impact carbone de leurs campagnes publicitaires sur Google. Mi-mars 2025, la firme de Mountain View a dévoilé "Empreinte Carbone pour Google Ads", un nouvel outil permettant aux marques d'évaluer précisément les émissions générées par leurs activités marketing en ligne. Basée sur des données propriétaires, cette technologie analyse divers paramètres comme le ciblage, le mix média et la dynamique des enchères pour fournir des estimations adaptées à chaque compte. L'objectif : permettre aux entreprises de mieux comprendre et réduire leur empreinte carbone publicitaire, un enjeu devenu incontournable avec le durcissement des régulations environnementales dans l'Union européenne, l'Australie, le Brésil et le Mexique.L'outil de Google repose sur des méthodologies reconnues, comme le Greenhouse Gas Protocol et le Global Media Sustainability Framework. Il distingue les émissions en trois catégories :-Scope 1 et Scope 2, qui concernent la consommation énergétique directe des infrastructures publicitaires.-Scope 3, qui inclut les émissions indirectes, notamment celles générées par l'affichage des annonces sur différents appareils.Contrairement aux estimations traditionnelles basées sur les dépenses publicitaires, cette solution s'appuie sur l'utilisation réelle des serveurs et l'énergie consommée par l'infrastructure Google, offrant ainsi une précision inédite. Pour l'instant, l'outil est accessible sur demande à certains annonceurs de grande envergure, avant un déploiement plus large. Des entreprises comme L'Oréal, LVMH ou encore Carwow figurent parmi les premières à tester ce dispositif. Ben Carter, directeur marketing chez Carwow, se réjouit des premiers résultats : "Nos anciennes méthodes surestimaient largement nos émissions publicitaires. Grâce aux données d'activité fournies par Google, nous constatons que notre impact est bien inférieur à nos prévisions initiales."Avec cette initiative, Google renforce son engagement environnemental, en phase avec son ambition d'atteindre une énergie 100 % décarbonée d'ici 2030. Marion Setiey, de LVMH, souligne l'importance de cette avancée : "C'est un signal fort pour l'industrie. Cette transparence est essentielle pour réduire collectivement l'impact environnemental du marketing digital." Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

The Porsche Cayenne isn't just an SUV—it's the car that saved Porsche from financial ruin. In the 1990s, the company was struggling, and the Cayenne, developed in secret, was their big gamble. When it launched in 2002, purists were outraged, but it redefined SUVs with Porsche's performance, luxury, and innovation. The Cayenne became a best-seller, paving the way for modern high-performance SUVs. From hybrid tech to an all-electric future, the Cayenne continues to lead.

We are very pleased to announce our podcast association with Carwow, and look forward to working with the team. Estelle Miller, the inspiring Co-Founder of EV Experts Ltd, has been kindly introduced to us by Carwow, and we are delighted to share her interview in this episode.   Estelle and her husband Martin, established the business in 2017,  with the aim to help customers make informed decisions about moving to EV.  They had experienced difficulties themselves when trying to source a second hand EV and thought there was a GAP in the market. She explains that customers can take longer in the buying process moving to electric, and to start with its often not about the car, but seeking information on range and charging. Ensuring your systems are in place to keep in contact with those customers is key. We go on to discuss everything from sourcing electric vehicles to depreciation curves and the disposal of the batteries.

In the latest episode of The CFO Playbook, David McClelland is joined by Giles Andrews OBE, co-founder of Zopa, the world's first P2P lending business launched in 2004, to discuss two decades working in FinTech and the role of artificial intelligence in shaping the financial services of the future. Finding himself as an accidental CFO in the early days of Zopa thanks to an accountancy qualification, Giles progressed to CEO and Chairman and is still an active Board Member, responsible for in excess of £4bn in loans in the UK, and revolutionising the way we look at banking. Reflecting on the economic storms faced globally over the past few years, Giles offers an insider's perspective on the 2008 financial crisis, revealing how it inadvertently fuelled Zopa's growth by transforming the lending landscape.

In a world now captivated by artificial intelligence, he shares his thoughts on the positives in work efficiency and improved user experience in customer service, but expresses concerns about ethics and governance, especially in financial services.

Discover why personal brands are thriving while business brands struggle to keep up in today's fast-paced digital landscape. Learn the secrets to building a successful brand that resonates with your audience and allows you to pivot seamlessly. KEY TAKEAWAYS Personal brands outperform business brands in terms of followers, leads, income, and status in your space. Attaching a personal brand to a business can lead to massive success, as seen with examples like Elon Musk, Stephen Bartlett, and Hagley watches. Business brands need a distinct personality to succeed, using comedy, memes, and emotional storytelling to engage their audience. Personal brands allow flexibility and the ability to pivot to different niches while maintaining an engaged audience. Business brands worked well in the past, but new successful brands in recent years often have a strong personal brand attachment. High-ticket items are more likely to be purchased when associated with a personal brand, especially for services like training courses, agencies, and consultancies. Car influencers like CarWow and Doug DeMiro have more impact on consumer decisions than traditional car company advertising. Building a personal brand is crucial for securing sponsors, selling products, and establishing yourself as a leader in your industry. BEST MOMENTS "Business brands are dead. Nobody wants to buy from a nameless corporate entity." "People buy into you. Your story, your message. And that is so powerful." "If you're going to do a business brand, make it a business brand with a personality that's distinct and unique." "Personal brand will always outperform business brand." "Can you name a luxury brand that has become massive in the last five years that doesn't have a big personal brand attachment?"

GUESTS: Andy Wilman, The Grand Tour; Scott Mansell, Driver61; Mat Watson, Carwow; Jack Carter, TikTokABOUT THIS EPISODEIn 2015, Top Gear was one of the most successful British television exports, YouTube seemed young and inexperienced, at just ten years old, and TikTok hadn't even been released.Seven years later, the media landscape looks very different, creating a new challenge for automakers and other providers of mobility: how can they best promote their products and grow or maintain brand awareness in the face of  today's rapidly-evolving media?
