I may be wrong but I have a hunch that being that the Company owners have a superb track record of exellence in very careful strategic planning as an extremely successful global organization in order to achieve the best results for their business' be it Cars, light commercials, marine engines or MHE, we should therefore expect part of their plan to achieve their desired goals be to have experts who have perhaps worked for their UK wholly owned subsidary in the past, have sales experience in their historical non core product lines (warehouse equipment) and as a bonus perhaps had great experience in running a sales dept for a dealership of another manufacturer from the same country of origin whereby that dealership may have been aquired and integrated into the new Direct operation lead by the Warehouse truck segment, which was, previous to the 'merger' a wholly owned subsidary also for a few years, in other words, get the right person in as 'integration manager' in order to offer the smoothest transition possible to a UK direct operation and if possible have an inner understanding of the issues, teething problems and unforseen mistakes perhaps made by a previous integration of a remarkably similar arrangement and srategic model.

Having had a rumoured non satisfactory experience in terms of results, of relying on a new main dealer and then not continuing this arrangement within around three years surely if this once renowned major ( counterbalance at least) player is to kick on rather than blow full time I believe it will be by going this way, not sure how the emphasis on maintaining and then increasing the counterbalance volume and focus will affect the 'to date' highly respected and traditionally good reputation of their Swedish origin UK operations in the market going forward. It's all in the balance!.. or is the strategy being implemented and 'integrated' right under our noses!! I just hope that some of the good, loyal and comitted guy's and gals are treated respectfully and fair as I have seen other great servants to the brand in my opinion less so.

Well the question was " What's happening at Nissan"? & this is just my guess, hunch, opinion! Regardless, Good Luck to all out there, keep on forktrucking folks!!!!
