About
On Tuesday, November 17, Automotive Management will reveal the 2026 AM100 research into the UK's largest car dealer with a webinar and publication of the AM100 report.

In the AM100 Webinar Tim Rose, editor of Automotive Management, and James Evans, a director at accountancy and advisory firm BDO and member of its motor retail team which researches dealer group accounts with AM, will reveal the latest performance of the UK’s largest franchised dealer groups.

They will highlight the standout performers in the AM100 which demonstrate strategic excellence and industry-leading profitability, and they’ll reveal the new entrants who’ve reached the scale to be included in the AM100 through organic growth and acquisitions.

The webinar will include a Q&A with our assembled panellists, before ending with a full countdown of the new AM100 rankings. The AM100 report will be published on AM-online immediately afterwards.

Sponsored by American Express, Autoglym, Phyron, RWA Automotive and Tracker Network.

John Hogan
Co-Founder & CEO, RWA Automotive
John Hogan is Co-Founder and CEO of RWA Automotive, the trusted AI data partner for motor retail groups. AI is only as good as the data behind it, and RWA has already done the difficult part: reconciling a group’s DMS, pricing, stock, showroom and aftersales systems into one governed source. That lets leaders use AI to cut straight to what matters, ask better questions and make faster, more accurate decisions, using numbers they can take to their board, their manufacturer or their bank. The same intelligence powers Ignite Retention, which finds the customers ready to change their car, and Ignite Staff, which benchmarks staffing against productivity site by site.

John founded Real World Analytics in 2013 to serve pharmacy groups and launched RWA Automotive in 2020. Before that he spent 14 years as CFO of a Sports Direct associated company in Dublin, and he still approaches every problem the way a finance director would: what moved the number, and which lever to pull next.
