What's happening at Nissan?

Does anyone know what's going on with Nissan in the UK? First Impact jump and no credible dealer wants to take on the product, now it seems that Carrylift are about to do the same!

What will HFT, South Wales and Lift West do now as they'll be the only dealers selling any Nissans?

Yes, Nissan are going thru tough times.
Big changes in dealerships with the departure of Impact.
The Atlet product is rubbish
The new 3-wheel electric is no better than the last one
..............but they are still there selling trucks

Oilleak......like you said, it's all in the name...!!!!! Just to clarify, I've been working in the industry for 34 years so yes, I do know my stuff. More importantly, I have a greater understanding of what is going on within Nissan which will all become evident very soon. Maybe when you are making your comments (which I understand you are entitled to do) just think about the people (Employees of Nissan) that they may be affecting...!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Directors or Management should listen to their employees these are the people who know their business and their customers best. Their would not be any employee who would not give them a honest answer. Its their lively hood on the line so they would want to help. This forum is a great way of finding out what the employees think some times good some times not so good but nearly all ways true

The good thing about engineers or other people who work on the front is they normally get to know first.By the time the directors or management get to know the ship has a big hole and is sinking fast.

Mr Oilleak, you've obviously based your opinions on association/working for a Nissan dealer, not the manufacturer...and you would appear to think that you have great knowledge of every MHE manufacturer and their business. I would suggest you have a rather large chip on your shoulder...!!??

Liftupnorth. Why would Forkway want to turn the clockback when they are now best pals with Briggs. They are doing well in pockets ,Yale / Hyster is the best U.S product around. Cats not a Cat anymore plus their UK dealer got NO CRED. Crown looking good but watch out for DULUX. More merges and buy outs on the cards.

You made two SWAGS but you lost the game of horseshoes. But I once worked for a company that had an association with Sir Neville Bowman-Shaw (at that time he was not a Sir) and Lancer-Boss organization. Now that was unique.

Oileak,
It is simple, we are still refining Queen's English, a hangover from the colony days ya' know. Glad there wasn't sufficient time for those Blokes back then to influenced The Colonies on how to drive on the wrong side of the rode like they did in Japan. LOL

opinions are what you get in an open Internet forum, some of which may or may not be correct or factual, and we can all spell "assume".
