60-second interview: Mike Finney, Britcom regional sales manager, Manchester.

Favourite holiday destination and why?
Cornwall, which is the best place in the world when it’s sunny

What car do you drive?
A Land Rover Discovery

Hobbies?
Fishing and golf, but I never get the time

How did you get into the industry and why?
I got into the industry through a government training scheme as an apprentice mechanic with Volvo cars

How would you encourage more young people into the industry?
Make it easier to get into - have apprentice schemes with full training on all aspects of the truck industry, and pay more

What will be the outlook for the used truck market for the next 12 months?
The tractor unit market will be tough as there are too many older trucks and not enough smaller businesses, which are the back bone for used tractors. Rigids are selling well but prices have peaked. The exchange rate is slowing export which could lead to oversupply in the UK
