Yes, you did read that right. We know what shows are like — lots of rushing around, meeting new people and trying to share loads of new information. A bit like a day in aftersales, in fact...

Let’s take a virtual tour through a typical aftersales department for a moment. The aroma of fresh coffee wafts through the office, someone drops a bag of doughnuts onto the desk — it’s their birthday — sunlight drifts through the windows. Service advisors chat happily to customers, accompanied by the gentle tapping of keyboards.
