Hi Tony

"Even with uccc,s its not a hard sell"

If i choose to leave the Forte "Good Garage Scheme" at any, it would take 10 minutes to remove one sign, bin the stationery and cancel a standing order (i use the UKAT schedules all the time anyway). Nothing will change as we are always busy

When i was a UCCC they asked me to become part of a "Good Garage Scheme" which i could not understand as you needed vetting to become a UCCC in the first place. They told me it was going to cost £700:00 per year to keep my UCCC status. I had a call from the top Unipart BDM who told me in no uncertain terms, "pay up or your out". I value my Independent status highly and i was not going to be dictated to by my parts supplier. Hence every thing with a UCCC logo was removed at considerable expense. Now that is what i call PRESSURE from a supplier

PS: I do like a health debate . Also still have UCCC illuminated sign if anyone wants it (new type)
