Finally 18 years with BCA, and it is time to leave home! I am delighted to announce the handover of the European CEO responsibility to David Banks, who has served as our European CFO since 2016 and was promoted to Deputy CEO in January 2024. This step concludes a carefully executed succession plan and is effective on January 1st 2025. I have no doubt that you will enjoy working with David as much as I have. Many things have changed in the automotive industry since I joined BCA in 2007, initially to conduct the turnaround of our French business. Day after day, BCA teams have kept giving their best to anticipate those changes and be present where the market needs us. An essential collective achievement is the creation of the leading independent European marketplace, called One Europe. Purely buyer centric, One Europe is supported by a team of over 1.000 experts based in the 15 most relevant European markets. Their obsession is to simplify the buyer journey for our 24.000 international buyers, while Europe keeps getting increasingly complex, not less. This never-ending battle is delivering results beyond expectations with cross border volumes tripling since we started the One Europe journey 8 years ago. Selling smoothly in 50 markets supports liquidity and residual value performance, helping the automotive industry to deal more confidently in an unpredictable market. I want to express my gratitude for our business partners who place their trust in us every day, allowing us to keep improving the marketplace that is serving each one of them. And I want to express my gratitude to our teams, who put the client first, and are about to deliver another record year by doing so. While I will retain a non-executive role with BCA, my focus will now be on a project outside of BCA. I will share more details in this forum in due time. In the meantime, let me wish you a peaceful and positive Christmas time with your families! BCA Europe
