KEITH CHRISTIAN TO RETIRE

After 15 years as director of BAGMA, Keith Christian has decided to step down from the role and retire.

Keith told Service Dealer, "After over 40 years in the industry I would like to thank everyone I have worked with, every one of my past customers, all those that have helped and supported me and the businesses I have worked for over the years.

"From fathers and mothers to sons and daughters in the UK dealerships I would say, be proud of what you do, you offer a unique and exceptional service to your customers and your suppliers and there is a bright future out there for you."
 
Keith continued, "I have been very proud to be a part of BAGMA for a long period of time and I believe that BAGMA’s future is stronger than ever. Dealers, large and small, need a strong voice and BAGMA has and will continue to provide this voice for the dealer network by working with government, other industry partners, trade associations and manufacturers and suppliers to ensure the future of a dealer network in the UK."

Steve Gibbs editor of Service Dealer said, "Keith is one of our industry's great personalities, and his expertise, knowledge and willingness to help anyone who needs his guidance will be much missed.

"On a personal note, he has been of huge help to me in my role as editor of Service Dealer. Knowing that I was able to ask his opinion and delve into his years of experience and wisdom as a friend, has been incredibly appreciated. He has assisted the magazine in all sorts of ways over the years and we thank him greatly for that."

We will hear more from Keith in a forthcoming edition of Service Dealer magazine.
