Thanks guys, we are seeing them friday am to answer all my sceptical questions!(shame isn't it we have to be that way)Tony the training we have used and are doing so, so heavy discounts there are very attractive, will let you know how we get on and if we sign up, post follow ups here for others to track our expereince. ECP are massive now and as such carry much more power and influence than CAF did in the past(who we deal with locally too)We have seen them introduce ldeas and link ups in the past too, bosch etc. Now they are Andrew Page owned of course so they too are that more powerful when it comes to working with the likes of bosch. We spend £9000 pm just with ECP alone so we are an attractive catch for them to hook up! We want to see a scheme that will work for all 3 sectors, manufacturer, ie bosch, supplier, ie ecp and us the garage end. A scheme that will not fizzle out as so many do , but will grow and develope for benefit of all 3 , but us of course primarily in the technical area, back up, training and knowledge base. Autocrew signage, no thanks!Marketing help, no thanks.
The GGS, very different idea and purpose of course, and i'm not suggesting or comparing them as alternatives but it has lasted, and has developed becuase Forte have stuck by it and were prepared to fund it sensibly. They benefited and we do. Sorry not meaning to divert to a GGS tread! Stick to Bosch here!
