🚨SUPPLIER SPECIAL EXCLUSIVE POD🚨   The latest in our series of Motor Trade Radio Supplier Specials showcases MTC. We’re joined by Anthony Brennan, Business Development Director, who tells us how the website builder is transforming the look, feel and functionality of dealer sites.   The business works across many retail and business sectors. An early success was delivering the e-commerce website that transformed the fortunes of Brew Dog when it was a start-up. It is probably best known in automotive for the groundbreaking Silver Bullet platform that made e-commerce a reality for the Peter Vardy Group, one of the first UK dealers to make online car buying possible.   It’s fair to say a lot of MTC’s bespoke automotive work has been under the radar working with groups such as Luscombe Motors, Saxton 4X4 and Ireland’s Joe Duffy Group.   That’s all about to change as the business is ramping up its automotive portfolio and is positioning itself as the go-to website disruptor for top 100 franchised dealers, car supermarkets and large independents.   Contact details Listeners wanting to know more about MTC can email Anthony Brennan at [email protected]
