Today we're going to talk about the company that distributes your Toyota and Suzuki cars!  While known as an automotive distributor, our guest Inchcape was started in 1847 when two merchants from Scotland formed a general merchanting partnership.  By the next few decades, the firm became one of the early adopters of the internal combustion engine transport revolution, as well as one of the first importers of motorcars into Asia.  Its modern presence in Asia Pacific started in 1967 with the acquisition of Borneo Motors, a company founded in 1925 to distribute vehicles in Singapore.  Since then, Inchcape APAC has expanded significantly, with 3,900 employees across the region. It now distributes new vehicles and parts in major markets such as Australia, Brunei, Guam, Hong Kong, Indonesia, New Zealand, Thailand and Singapore just to name a few.  Its portfolio of OEM brands include Toyota Motor, Subaru, Suzuki, Jaguar Land Rover, BMW, and more.  And it seems like the next couple of years would be interesting for Inchcape, after the firm signed a global strategic partnership with automotive brand GWM in June 2023 to tap what it calls the ‘enormous' potential of the Indonesian market. But what can we expect on this front?  Speaking of Indonesia, Inchcape and Indomobile also took over the Mercedez Benz business in Indonesia in April 2023. Why is this the case and how far is Indonesia a key focus area for the firm? What is Inchcape's grand plan for the region? On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Ruslan Kinebas, CEO, Inchcape Asia Pacific.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How's this for starters on @Motortraderadio pod, powered by @ebaymotorsgroup? Are we seeing a return to a push market? OEM EV discounts are on the rise. Dealers are concerned about EV values. Used car finance down. Inchcape shuts 8 new BravoAuto supermarkets.

Happy coronation weekend, everyone! We're celebrating with a headline-packed Motor Trade Radio podcast powered by eBay Motors Group.

March madness had a different undertone this year as investors faced market volatility and renewed uncertainties brought upon by a regional banking crisis.The Bank of England (“BoE”) raised interest rates to 4.25% from 4% in an eleventh consecutive monthly increase. Minutes from the meeting showed that the Financial Policy Committee told policymakers before the vote that the "UK banking system maintains robust capital and strong liquidity positions," and that "the UK banking system remains resilient." Financial markets appear to expect rates to increase again amid no signs of a let-up in inflation. On a year-on-year basis, consumer prices rose to 10.4% in February, well above the consensus expectation...Stocks featured:Crest Nicholson, Inchcape and JD WetherspoonTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management's own commentary on markets.

Andre Lacroix thinks that just about every major crisis in the 21st century was caused by a failure of leadership. He is so concerned about the quality of leadership that he has written a book about it - Leadership with Soul. Why is understanding risk so important for leaders? What can be learned from Ayrton Senna? Why is Toyota such an incredible organisation? Why did Lacroix go from wanting to being a surgeon to wanting to be a CEO? And why is London still the perfect place to base an international business? Find out all of that and more in the last episode of Business Studies as we speak to Lacroix, who has been chief executive of FTSE 100 company Intertek since 2015 and before that was at car dealer Inchcape, Disneyland Paris, Burger King and PepsiCo.

Un total de 33 naves de pasajeros se proyecta que recalen en el puerto de Valparaíso durante la próxima temporada de cruceros 2022-2023, la cual comenzaría el 16 de octubre de este año con la nave Fram y finalizaría el 9 de abril de 2023 con Roald Amundsen. Así se anunció esta mañana en el marco de la primera reunión de coordinación en torno a este nuevo ciclo de arribo de naves, a la que asistieron representantes de la Empresa Portuaria Valparaíso, concesionarios y agencias. Juan Marcos Mancilla, gerente de Logística de EPV, indicó que “como Puerto Valparaíso estamos muy contentos por las muestras de reactivación que está dando la industria de cruceros a nivel mundial, en nuestro país y, especialmente, en Valparaíso. El que estemos recuperando las cifras de cruceros que registrábamos antes de la pandemia, que eventualmente pueden variar durante el año, demuestra el interés de las compañías por llegar hasta nuestra ciudad y la relevancia que tiene nuestro puerto para atender este tipo de naves”. El ejecutivo agregó que “estimamos comenzar la temporada el 16 de octubre con la nave Fram y cerrarla el 9 de abril del próximo año con la recalada de la nave Roald Amundsen. El arribo de estas naves es un importante impulso para el turismo de Valparaíso, por lo que es necesario trabajar todos juntos -con miras a la próxima temporada- para dar la mejor atención posible a los visitantes”. Por su parte, Víctor Oelkers, gerente general de Inchcape, destacó que esta será “una temporada auspiciosa, esperamos poder operar 33 naves en Valparaíso y 14 en San Antonio, eso te da 47 cruceros que es un nivel pre pandemia, la industria a nivel mundial de cruceros ha vuelto a una casi completa normalidad de operación, dado que el único lugar en el mundo es el norte de Asia. Estamos súper contentos, se reactiva una de las industrias más golpeadas durante la pandemia y que está esperando con ansias volver a trabajar, y eso tiene un beneficio social muy importantes porque son muchas las pymes que dependen de esta industria. Gonzalo de la Sotta, operador de cruceros de Agunsa, dijo que “nosotros afortunadamente tenemos la línea de crucero de Viking Ocean Cruises que vuelve a Valparaíso con Viking Jupiter que dará 3 recaladas durante la temporada, con la característica que están dos noches en puerto, además de eso, la flota agrega dos naves de exploración antártica, el Viking Polaris y el Octantis y que recalan en Valparaíso en su viaje de posicionamiento al sur y al norte”. Claudio Nast, de DMC, acotó que “esto que estamos viendo ahora post pandemia que es prácticamente el primer año que vamos a tener movimiento, y rápidamente empezamos a tener requerimientos donde Valparaíso se ve muy bien pedido en naves de menor tamaño y naves de alto nivel de pasajeros como son el Costa Delisioza, el Saphire, el Royal Caribbean, y eso demuestra con mayor calidad que el futuro de la industria de cruceros en Chile va a crecer y vamos a tener obligatoriamente en Valparaíso a tener una infraestructura dedicada para los cruceros”. Finalmente, Royal Caribbean, una de las líneas de cruceros más grandes del mundo, volverá a recalar en las costas de Valparaíso con el crucero Calebrity Infinity, luego de las gestiones realizadas por la delegación de representantes de la ciudad puerto que participó en Seatrade Cruise Global 2022.

The Inchcape Rockby Robert Southey (1774-1843)No stir in the air, no stir in the sea,The ship was still as she could be,Her sails from heaven received no motion,Her keel was steady in the ocean.Without either sign or sound of their shockThe waves flow'd over the Inchcape Rock;So little they rose, so little they fell,They did not move the Inchcape Bell.The Abbot of AberbrothokHad placed that bell on the Inchcape Rock;On a buoy in the storm it floated and swung,And over the waves its warning rung.When the Rock was hid by the surge's swell,The mariners heard the warning bell;And then they knew the perilous Rock,And blest the Abbot of Aberbrothok.The Sun in heaven was shining gay,All things were joyful on that day;The sea-birds scream'd as they wheel'd round,And there was joyaunce in their sound.The buoy of the Inchcape Bell was seenA darker speck on the ocean green;Sir Ralph the Rover walk'd his deck,And he fix'd his eye on the darker speck.He felt the cheering power of spring,It made his whistle, it made him sing;His heart was mirthful to excess,But the Rover's mirth was wickedness.His eye was on the Inchcape float;Quoth he, ‘My men, put out the boat,And row me to the Inchcape Rock,And I'll plague the Abbot of Aberbrothok.'The boat is lower'd, the boatmen row,And to the Inchcape Rock they go;Sir Ralph bent over from the boat,And he cut the Bell from the Inchcape float.Down sunk the Bell with a gurgling sound,The bubbles rose and burst around;Quoth Sir Ralph, ‘The next who comes to the RockWon't bless the Abbot of Aberbrothok.'Sir Ralph the Rover sail'd away,He scour'd the seas for many a day;And now grown rich with plunder'd store,He steers his course for Scotland's shore.So thick a haze o'erspreads the skyThey cannot see the Sun on high;The wind hath blown a gale all day,At evening it hath died away.On the deck the Rover takes his stand,So dark it is they see no land.Quoth Sir Ralph, ‘It will be lighter soon,For there is the dawn of the rising Moon.'‘Canst hear,' said one, ‘the breakers roar?For methinks we should be near the shore.'‘Now where we are I cannot tell,But I wish I could hear the Inchcape Bell.'They hear no sound, the swell is strong;Though the wind hath fallen they drift along,Till the vessel strikes with a shivering shock,?‘Oh Christ! It is the Inchcape Rock!'Sir Ralph the Rover tore his hair;He curst himself in his despair;The waves rush in on every side,The ship is sinking beneath the tide.But even in his dying fearOne dreadful sound could the Rover hear,A sound as if with the Inchcape Bell,The Devil below was ringing his knell.

Episode Description:  In this week's episode, the Duchess speaks to Lady Ailsa of the historic Stonor Park. In the episode, Lady Ailsa tells the Duchess about the mysterious story of Hollywood's lost aviator, we get the backstory on Stonor Park's mystical foundations, and the ladies discuss the estate's fascinating history of Catholic martyrdom.     Top Quotes: "When living in these homes you do really reflect on how extraordinary it is to have this great tapestry of hundreds of years surrounding you." - Duchess "These homes aren't built for five people to rattle around in. They're built for everyone to see." - Lady Ailsa "In lockdown, we have noticed an enormous reconnection with Belvoir from the local community. We hope it will stay because the only way we will keep the roofs on these places is from the support of local people in the surrounding area. Living in heritage is such a partnership" - Duchess About the Guest and Stately Home: Lady Ailsa was born Ailsa Mackay, the daughter of Kenneth Mackay, 4th Earl of Inchcape and Georgina Nisbet. She married Hon. William Stonor, son of Sir Ralph Thomas Stonor, 7th Lord Camoys, in 2004. The couple have three children together. Lady Ailsa is a landscape designer who worked in international development for non-governmental organisations and works alongside her husband in the running of the house.  Stonor Park has been in the Stonor family for over 850 years, and is one of the oldest family homes to be lived in today. The first mention of Stonor is ‘Stanora Lege', or ‘stony hill', appearing in AD 774 with the first recorded family member, Robert De Stanora, living there during the late 12th Century. For the following three centuries the family prospered, acquiring lands and titles, administering lucrative wardships, farming their flocks of sheep, fighting in great battles, holding high office and marrying into powerful local families. This expansion was curtailed with Henry VIII's Act of Supremacy as the Catholic Stonors refused to accept the monarch as head of the church. This unwavering commitment to their faith came at a great cost, and by 1650 all of the Stonor estates, barring the Stonor Valley, had been sold to pay recusancy fines. After generations of lobbying, the Catholic Emancipation Act was eventually passed in 1829 at which point the 3rd Lord Camoys once more embraced government and public life. Stonor is now home to three generations of the Stonor family – the Lord and Lady Camoys reside in the recently restored 14th Century Wool House.  About the Host: Emma Rutland, The Duchess of Rutland, did not always stride the halls of stately homes. Born Emma Watkins, the Duchess grew up the daughter of a Quaker farmer, in the Welsh marsh countryside. She trained as an opera singer in the Guildhall School of Music, and worked as a successful interior designer before meeting her future husband David Manners, the 11th Duke of Rutland, at a dinner party. Their marriage in 1992 would transform Emma Watkins into the 11th Duchess of Rutland, thrusting her into the world of aristocracy, and handing her the responsibility of one of the nation's great treasures: Belvoir Castle. While simultaneously running the day to day operations of the castle, and raising five children, The Duchess became fascinated with the history and importance of the other stately homes of the UK. Join The Duchess as she embarks on a wonderful journey through time, to learn more about the incredible homes that have defined Great Britain and, most importantly, meet the other extraordinary women who work tirelessly behind their doors to preserve their history and magic for future generations.  Resources: To find out more about our Sponsor CircleDNA, visit their website https://circledna.com/en-us/ (here) https://www.onefineplay.com/ (https://www.onefineplay.com/) https://www.belvoircastle.com/ (https://www.belvoircastle.com/) https://www.emmaduchessrutland.com/
