Fuchs Lubricants is hosting a series of specialist seminars in a number of the UK’s colleges and universities to entice bright students to take an interest in lubricants technology. The sessions are led by Fuchs UK’s automotive technical manager Andy Brown, to groups of up to 50 students.

“The aim is to talk to youngsters who are taking courses in engineering or motorsport engineering,” explained Brown. “While all the courses are extensive in their content, oils and lubricants is an area that can get overlooked. We try to address that by offering this free educational insight.

“Quite a few of the students will run, or be involved in, the running of race teams, so we supply products free of charge, encouraging them to do testing and oil analysis and think about what effect different engines have on different oils.”

The Fuchs sessions have been run at Brunel University, Oxford Brooks University, University of Wales Trinity St. David, Staffordshire University, University of Derby, RAF Cosford, Myerscough College, Bridgwater College, Wiltshire College of Motorsport and the British Motorcycle Manufacturing Academy.

The Department for Transport is inviting local authorities to apply for part of a £2m fund to capitalise on emerging technologies and “deliver better journeys for road users”. Proposals include using technology that will allow vehicles to communicate with each other and roadside sensors to provide the drivers with real-time traffic information.

Councils are assessing how warnings about changing weather and traffic conditions can be sent directly to vehicles, helping drivers plan ahead more effectively. Under a previous scheme, Westminster City Council has been building an app that directs drivers to empty parking spaces in central London and then takes payments automatically.

Councils across England will have

until the end of September to apply for the funding. Bids are expected to range between £30,000 and £300,000 and councils are expected to provide at least five per cent of their project’s cost. They have until 5pm on Friday 30th September 2016 to submit their bids. Schemes would be expected to complete by March 2018.

Tucano Urbano is providing its Termoscud (scooter) and Gaucho (motorcycle) leg covers with a so-called Termoscud card, a document that insures against thefts. If a Termoscud is stolen, owners can claim a replacement by producing the card.

To activate the insurance,

the user must fill in the online registration within 20 days from the date of purchase. Users are advised to keep their Termoscud card, the receipt and their email confirmation. The insurance against thefts is valid for one year from the original date of purchase and is free.

In the event of theft, the user

has to send the purchase receipt, copy of police crime report (with a specific mention of the product), Termoscud card and online registration certificate.

For further information, visit the Tucano Urbano website: www.tucanourbano.com.

The Department for Transport (DfT) has responded to The National Motorcycle Dealers Association’s (NMDA) concerns that the promised plug-in motorcycle grant scheme had still not been delivered.

In March 2015, Matthew Hancock MP announced that motorcycles and scooters would join cars, vans, trucks and buses in the government’s drive for greener vehicles. It was stated that up to £7.5m would be set aside to boost the uptake for electric two-wheelers and help bikers bridge the

cost gap between a zero emission electric motorcycle and conventional petrol versions. The grant would offer up to £1,500 off the purchase price and allow motorcyclists to reduce both their running costs and environmental impact.

Stephen Latham, head of the NMDA, said: “Last month, we wrote to Andrew Jones MP, Parliamentary under Secretary of State for Transport, raising our concerns that the grant has still not been put in place for consumers and thus,

dealers and the industry. We were not aware if the promised grant had been revoked under the new government and to date there has been no further mention in action towards implementing it.

“The Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) has now responded to our letter, stating that they are continuing to work with stakeholders on the details of the scheme and will make further announcements in due course. The NMDA will continue to monitor this closely.”

Establishing vaping policiesPublic Health England (PHE) has published advice for businesses and employers to assist them in establishing their own policies for e-cigarette use. The aim is to enable organisations to help support smokers to quit and stay smoke-free.

There are apprioximately 2.8 million e-cigarette users in the UK. However, there is currently no evidence of harm from second-hand e-cigarette vapour.

PHE’s framework advice establishes five principles for policy creation for vaping, which include making clear the distinction between vaping and smoking; ensuring policies are informed by the evidence on health risks to bystanders; identifying and managing risks of uptake by children and young people; supporting smokers to stop smoking and stay smoke-free; and supporting compliance with smoke-free law and policies.

Statutory requirements for employing under 18sA friend’s 17-year-old son has asked whether you have any holiday/weekend work you could offer. Are there any statutory rights that are specific to under 18s?

Generally speaking 16 and 17 year olds must not work for more than eight hours in any given day, or in excess of 40 hours per week and must not, under any circumstances, work for an employer between the hours of midnight and 4am. They must have at least 12 hours of uninterrupted rest within any 24-hour period in which they work, and a rest break of at least 30 minutes if a shift will last longer than four and a half hours. Furthermore, they must have at least two consecutive days off per week.

A worker aged 16 or 17 (but not an apprentice) is entitled to the National Minimum Wage

of at least £3.87 per hour. This will rise to £4.00 on the 1st of October 2016. This rate applies regardless of whether the younger worker is part-time, full-time or employed on a casual basis.

Digital revolution for tax system to cut red tape for businessPaying tax will become less burdensome for British businesses under plans for a 21st-century tax system detailed by HMRC.

The benefits of Making Tax Digital include;• Cash-basis accounting so that thousands more will be able to pay tax based simply on the difference between money they have taken in and what they have paid out, meaning tradesmen will pay tax on cash received rather than invoices issued• Prompts and alerts to help businesses get tax right and giving advice on tax reliefs they might be missing out on• Greater certainty over tax bills so businesses don’t have to wait until the end of the year to find out how much they have to pay.

The decision to exempt the smallest businesses and landlords from digital record-keeping and quarterly updates follows months of constructive engagement with business and agent groups. The government is also considering deferring digital record-keeping and quarterly updating for a further group of small businesses and will explore options to assist businesses with the transition. Finally, the consultation documents confirm that those who cannot go digital will not be required to.

Bank overdrafts more expensive than payday loansBorrowing money from your bank overdraft is more expensive than using payday

loans, explains a report from consumer group Which?

Whilst payday loans are regularly criticised in the press for charging levels of APR that run in the thousands, the fees charged by the likes of Wonga and Quickquid are in fact less than those charged by a number of high street banks for an authorised or unauthorised bank overdraft.

The cost of a payday loan was capped on 1st January 2015 to a maximum of £122.40 per £100 borrowed for a period of 28 days. This is still less than the £30 charged by authorised overdrafts and up to £90 charged for unauthorised overdrafts.

When using a credit card, you will be given a credit limit which is the amount you can spend each month and is based on your affordability, income and credit history. For instance, you can be given a credit limit of £4,000 per month and this is the maximum you can spend each month – and going over this will put you into your overdraft.

Advertorial: International Dirt Bike Show 2016

INTERNATIONAL DIRT BIKE SHOW 2016: Are you ready?

W ith trade and retail space filling up fast, there’s every indication that the

2016 International Dirt Bike Show is going to be one of the best yet. All of the off-road industry’s key figures are making their final preparations for the must-attend off-road showpiece.

Cementing its reputation as the premier event of its kind in Europe, the Dirt Bike Show is attracting major manufacturers, keen to showcase their latest ranges – including 2017 models for motocross, trials and enduro – to thousands of eager enthusiasts. That’s just the start; a staggering number of bikes, covering virtually every off-road discipline, will be displayed and sold by the scene’s most recognisable names.

For kit, accessories and much more besides, there’s a bustling retail hall and, with the show taking place at end of the season, expect visitors to have a lengthy shopping list as they stock up on everything needed for a new year of riding and competition.

Away from the bargain-hunting, two halls of thrilling live action and entertainment will provide plenty to see, while on-stage interviews and have-a-go activities provide even more to enjoy.

Take a trade standIf you fancy getting in on the action, there is a limited number of exhibition plots remaining for this year’s event. Thousands of off-road riders will attend across the four days of the show, promising a profitable weekend benefiting from crowds willing to spend on the many different products and services available. Stand space also offers an unrivalled chance to network with fellow businesses and talk directly

to enthusiasts about the scene. There are a few extra touches

added for traders as well, such as the exhibitor-only café/bistro on the balcony of Hall 3, which offers great food and a quiet place to relax for half-an-hour during the busy day. It also makes for a great meeting location.

AMCA general manager Suzanne Potts attends the International Dirt Bike Show every year, and said: “It provides us with an excellent opportunity to meet up with our club officials, members and sponsors. We have found there is no better way for us to meet so many people in one go than this annual industry event. Visitor numbers are always high and provide a steady flow of customers. If your business is off-road, you need to exhibit at Stoneleigh!”

To find out about the handful of remaining trade spaces in Halls 1, 2 and 3, interested parties should contact sales executive Andy Catton by email – [email protected] – or by calling 01507 529594. Discounts apply to bookings made before the end of September, so ask Andy for details or visit dirtbikeshow.co.uk to find out more.

Motul partnershipLeading European oil and lubricant specialist Motul has been announced as the official partner of the 2016 International Dirt Bike Show. The manufacturer has teamed up with the event after it launched 13 new products specifically for the off-road market.

Motul brand manager Richard Barrett said: “The International Dirt Bike Show has gone from strength to strength in recent years, and Motul is proud to partner with the biggest and best off-road event on the calendar.

“We have a great range of MX specific products which will be showcased to thousands of visitors by some of our top riders. I can’t wait for October 27!”

A new websiteThe International Dirt Bike Show’s website has undergone a refresh ahead of the 2016 event, offering visitors mobile-friendly access to the latest updates and information.

Along with a modern new look which resizes for any desktop or device, the site features news feeds from leading off-road publications and show media partners Dirt Bike Rider and TMX. There are also updates from the organising team in the build-up to the event itself, and throughout its duration regular updates will keep show-goers informed on all the details, the timetable and exhibitor news.

Other features include a photo gallery, links to download the International Dirt Bike Show App and a feed from the event Facebook page. Traders and exhibitors can also use the site to find relevant contact details and download trade application forms.

M ost sponsorships decisions ican be subjective on many levels, with factors such as cost, timing

and the purpose of the relationship requiring careful consideration, together with what you’re hoping to draw from it.

Does sponsorship work? “It’s often something that is difficult to quantify,” said Suzuki GB’s marketing manager Rob Cooper. “It’s not tangible so you hope it will benefit you in one form or another. In most cases though, it’s almost impossible to tell exactly how much good it does for you.” As an example, Cooper cited the support given to Halsall Suzuki, the factory-backed race team which competes using the Japanese brand’s GSX-R1000 in the British Superbike championship. “I can’t honestly say that our presence in the BSB paddock translates to showroom sales of GSX-R. But we hope that’s the case. What we do get from racing is fantastic brand awareness, both physically at the event and also via television and internet coverage, which is our prime aim from all the sponsorship deals we undertake. Every individual deal, whether for racing or the donation of a prize, is highly considered and is analysed as much as possible to ensure that it fits into our brand’s marketing goals. We also capitalise on the opportunity as much as possible to make it work for us.”

Cooper went on to explain that sponsorship is more of a reactive process, which is why it is often difficult to factor the arrangement into a season’s marketing campaign well in advance. For instance, at the beginning of this year Suzuki GB was approached by BT Sport with the opportunity to become the corporate sponsor of the show’s MotoGP coverage. “It wasn’t something we were expecting to come about, but we decided it was a great time for us to take up the chance and we’ve been very pleased with the exposure. The deal’s only for one year, but there’s a good chance we’ll consider it again. It is hard to measure the benefits of sponsorship and the impact it has on motorcycle sales, but it undeniably gets our brand embedded into

people’s minds.” Choosing who to sponsorIn 1976, clothing and accessories giant Oxford Products decided to go racing with Les Burgan, Asa Moyce, Mike Hunt and Geoff Johnson all riding for Team Oxford. The objectives back then were two-fold; have a great time and get the Oxford name out there. The company’s objectives today aren’t a million miles away from that initial concept, but are wrapped in a more complicated cloak which seeks to define the activity’s return on investment (ROI). Oxford Product’s marketing manager Henry Rivers-Fletcher gave a clear insight into how the multifaceted business determined who and what to sponsor. “Who we sponsor is effected by several factors”, explained Rivers Fletcher. “Obviously, availability is the first thing you have to work out. If an individual or an event isn’t in a position to be sponsored then that door is already closed. Cost is next on the agenda, whilst determining whether they/it will deliver realistic value in return for our investment. Personality is also another crucial consideration in sponsorship deals, because we need to be sure that we can work well with a person or team on a professional level. Likewise, from a pure racing perspective, we’d go as far to determine whether the team a rider competes for is sufficiently professional and whether they can deliver an appropriate level of support for the rider we’re looking to sponsor. Other things which need to be factored in is popularity of a particular person or an event. If we’re talking about a person, do they have a strong following, for instance, on social media? It’s important in any sponsorship opportunity to draw the most form the relationship, which means working out whether that person could also help us to develop our product range, not just promote it. And, finally, we’d also look more long term and try to work out whether the sponsorship would benefit our future plans, by determining whether their career plan aligns with our objectives.”

It’s clear that, from the very off, the thinking process behind sponsorship can be a convoluted and technical process, if the best results are to be obtained. Rivers-Fletcher

admitted that years of experience and continuity help to ease this process, but added the most important factor in aiding decisions is a clear strategy; if you know what you want to achieve from a given sponsorship budget, you’ll find the decisions make themselves.

Two-way streetOne man who has very clear goals of what he expects from any sponsorship his brand commits to is Continental UK’s Graham Matcham. One of the biggest sponsorship deals he has in place is with the European Classic Racing championship team Phase One. “Continental wanted to produce a radial offering to the classic racing scene, so the most logical way to do so was to support a successful, approachable and respected team with our new product”, said Matcham. “Three years ago we managed to strike a deal with the team’s principal who in turn, agreed to help us with the development of the new tyre. It was the perfect relationship for both parties, with Phase One gaining an extensive amount of product support, whilst we took invaluable feedback and gained a healthy standing in the paddock.”

The Continental deal worked for both parties with the added bonus of relentless wins for the Phase One racing team. The by-product of this partnership saw the vast majority of the classic paddock switch to using Continental rubber and it’s still the most popular brand of choice in the scene. “We couldn’t be happier with how the sponsorship’s gone for us. Without that opportunity it could have taken a lot longer and cost us a lot more money to gain the same impact,” concluded Matcham.

A happy sponsorGary Johnson is an international motorcycle racer with two TT wins and a national championship to his name.

With over 15 years of competition under his belt, he’s learned the hard way what it takes to not only find new sponsors, but how to keep existing and seasoned sponsors happy. “A lot of people are short sighted when it comes to sponsorship”, said Johnson. “They think of the immediate and not the future. It’s a natural mentality, but with time you learn that life is much better for everyone if you can develop and mature sponsorship relationships. Every single sponsor is different, so firstly you have to carefully determine what a sponsor actually wants from you. It might be they want loads of social media coverage or for you to swing by their shops for open days. Whatever it is, it’s crucial to determine the requirement and then set about delivering it and keeping them happy”.

Johnson explained that a happy sponsor is a great sponsor and that through keeping them content, there’s much more chance they’ll want to strike a deal with you the following season. “It’s not easy finding good sponsors, so I really try my hardest to keep the sponsor engaged at all times. Most deals are pretty rigid in their form, but that won’t stop me going above and beyond to keep things sweet. It’s in my interest to go out and find extra event tickets for a sponsor, or even their friends, just as it is to sign a few extra autographs and send out nicely framed photos and letters of thanks to show appreciation for a company’s sponsorship. It’s important to remember no one’s obliged to give you support, so you should respect your sponsors as much as possible.

“It’s also important to carefully consider the opportunities that come along, as they’re not always that great,” admitted Johnson. “Some simply don’t make financial sense. If the sponsor asks for too much in return for too little, there is the prospect that one of the parties will feel let down so sometimes it may be

better not to enter into a relationship at all.”

Growing the opportunities It is natural for many in the trade to struggle to see any benefits in sponsorship. R&G’s UK sales manager Alan Garrett isn’t one of those. Best known for its extensive range of crash protection products, the innovative company engaged with sponsorship opportunities immediately after the business’ conception in 1999. It proved to be a popular method to market the brand and also a great way to develop its products. So much so that sponsorship has become a keystone in the firm’s operations.

Said Garrett; “Our success in the arena of support has enabled us to

continue not only to support teams and individuals, but also become involved on a wider platform and garner a ready source of marketing material for our worldwide activities. We are currently in our second year of partnership with the BSB series as the official Crash Protection Supplier which was born out of the Triumph Triple Challenge, and it’s our first season of title sponsorship for the No Limits Racing series. Together with the initiative of the R&G Rookies Trophy and the supply of the mandatory racing products to the Santander Consumer Finance KTM British Junior Cup, we also sponsor the California Superbike School and Silverstone Circuits bikes with our protection. As you can imagine, we

have a very full programme, and that’s without mentioning our numerous overseas partnerships.”

Ensuring R&G receives value for money and a viable return on its sponsorship investment is obviously of high importance and Garrett admitted it can be sometimes be something of a challenge. “It’s not just a case of sending products or a cheque – you need to strive to constantly find opportunities and get the best from the relationships. We’ve found feedback and testimonials from our sponsored riders and teams is a crucial part of the arrangement, because it inspires new customers to look at our products. When people call to order the products we supply to the BSB series or those that they’ve seen being used in magazines, it serves to underline the fact that we’re doing the right thing.”

Sponsorship - a worthy investment?The answer seems to be yes, if managed properly. Much like any business decision, a considered and structured approach appears to be the key element. Identify the end gain, question whether assigning the budget will help reach a new target audience or aid product development and, as in the case of Continental’s racing involvement, the results will

Heard the one about the digital revolution?

T he internet is a cruel mistress, on that I think we can all agree.

Although estimates vary, statistics being bandied about suggest that the average adult spends up to four hours a day accessing the web. Much of this is wasting time, but perhaps a lot more of it is spent managing our lives and livelihoods. Before there was email and Google, we still managed to get through life and inform and enjoy ourselves reasonably well, but now it seems almost everything we once did via personal contact, the Royal Mail and the telephone has to be accomplished online because service providers, government and retailers demand it.

As far as the motorcycle trade is concerned, we’ve seen a seismic shift away from the sort of oily-floor dealerships that existed in virtually every decent-sized town and city, to a handful of big, multi-franchise showrooms in retail parks and urban hinterlands. A few independent outfits still maintain a showroom of sorts while doing the majority of their business online, and mainly through eBay. I was reminded of this just recently when I was browsing the interweb for a some spare parts and found myself admiring a Moto Guzzi that would sit very well in my garage.

We’re all familiar with eBay’s virtual showrooms,

each item occupying a window usually containing minimal blurb with a progression of the vendor’s other stock below it. Well, the blurb in this case was so minimal that I had to call up the dealer for more detail. What I got instead was someone who sounded like a teenager doing a holiday job, who knew damn-all about the bike in question but said he’d get someone to call me back.

“A salesman?,” I asked “Er, no, we don’t have a salesman,” he replied, which seemed a bit odd when I’d counted well over 20 bikes paraded in front of me. “He’s the owner, but he only works here part-time.”

I was left wondering how an operation like that, which had what looked like an interesting selection of pretty desirable stock could possibly offer decent customer satisfaction – but maybe customer satisfaction no longer equates to assiduous preparation, after-sales service and spares back-up. In which case, heaven help us – or at least heaven help the newbie biker wanting to feel valued and mentored as he or she steps gingerly into our strange little world.

Of course, I am continually reminded of the worthier aspect of digital communication each time an outfit like 38 Degrees sends

me a petition to sign or an email begging for financial support. And because, in the dim and distant, I did actually sign an online petition for I can’t remember what – free school meals for dolphins or ending the folly of HS2 – the attendant small print claimed the right to send me more petitions as often as they like.

Most of these I now ignore, but one hit my inbox in late

June demanding to ‘Implement The Promised Plug-In Grants For Electric Motorcycles’, stating: “It's time for the Department for Transport to

honour the pledge it made on 27 March 2015 to include electric motorcycles in the plug-in grants scheme that has long operated for cars, vans and buses.”

And indeed you may’ve read about this delay in one of Trader’s daily digital news bulletins, so I won’t repeat the background, other than to note that according to the NMDA, the grants would not only cut emissions and urban congestion but also be a boost for jobs (although, as no British company is building electric motorcycles, I can’t quite figure that out).

Maybe the DfT just aren’t taking their original undertaking very seriously, because the number of signatories on the petition was merely 152, which was another reason I’m left wondering how valuable the interweb really is to the motorcycle trade.

“Maybe customer satisfaction no longer requires preparation, after-sales service and spares

back-up. In which case, heaven help us”

Mark Williams wonders whether the bike trade’s migration from actual to virtual worlds is really serving us as well as the hype would have us believe

It’s time to reinvent apprenticeships

One of the challenges facing our industry is a shortage of skilled technicians.

It’s a problem shared by many UK industries, and one the government hopes to address through greater promotion, support and regulation of apprenticeships.

To do this, the department responsible has pledged to reinvent this form of training as the foundation for a credible and high-quality career – reclaiming the status apprenticeships had during the Sixties. Back then, one third of boys leaving school aged 15 to 17 went on to do an apprenticeship, according to an estimate by the Institute of Directors. Nowadays, girls are targeted too, of course, and if government targets are achieved, there will be three million apprentices each year by 2020, with some reaching degree-equivalent standards.

In last year’s Autumn Statement, it was announced that these apprenticeships would be funded through the introduction of a levy for any business whose wage bill exceeds £3m a year. This means that larger companies, which account for around two per cent of businesses in the UK, will be required to pay 0.5 per cent of their annual wage bills into a national fund, starting from April 2017. This is expected to generate £2-3bn for the provision of apprenticeships by smaller companies in any sector, so long as they meet certain

criteria. The government is

proposing to pay 90 per cent towards the cost of training and assessment, with employers paying the remainder. This will be confirmed in October, and there is still time to feed back your views via the gov.uk website.

It is of course vital that the motorcycle maintenance and repair sector is in a position to

stake its claim for any available finance. So what does the motorcycle industry need to do to access its share of the apprenticeship levy fund? For a start, each sector providing apprenticeships must agree and adhere to certain standards. The setting of these standards is steered by employer-led groups known as ‘trailblazers’; each sector needs a trailblazer group. Trailblazers are responsible for identifying specific job roles, core skills, knowledge and behaviours required to create an apprentice that is fully competent and able to meet the needs of employers in that sector.

Trailblazers must comprise 10 employers who wish to have apprentices, two of which must be micro-businesses. The trailblazer for the motorcycle industry was formed last year, under the auspices of the National Motorcycle Dealers’ Association (NMDA). It is

being guided by the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) and includes dealers, manufacturers, colleges and other training providers.

As a result of this collaboration, ‘motorcycle technician (repair and maintenance)’ is now listed on the government website as an occupation ‘approved for the development of an apprenticeship standard’ – good

news for motorcycle businesses.

In addition to trailblazers, there is a separate industry group reviewing the provision of apprenticeships to ensure that there

are sufficient opportunities for apprenticeship training under the new arrangements. The idea of building modern apprenticeships around what employers need came out of the 2012 Richard Report, which advocated a more “employer-focused” approach to apprentice training. The government backed these findings and responded with its trailblazer model.

MCIA’s Steve Kenward, who has been involved in shaping the requirements for the motorcycle industry, said:

“Taking all of these initiatives together, with the right level of support from the dealer networks, the industry should be well placed to increase its availability of skilled technicians for the future.”

Successful apprenticeships are of course essential for our industry to thrive. We will keep you updated about developments in this area.

“The government is proposing to pay 90 per cent towards the

cost of training and assessment, to be confirmed in October. Now is the time to provide feedback”

Opinion: David McMullan

Two giants, head to head

O ne of the biggest rivalries in the Chinese motorcycle industry is the

one between Chongqing giants Zongshen and Loncin. While the staple produce of these motorcycle manufacturing giants are still small engine commuter bikes to developing countries, they are both growing a reputation for being the fastest- evolving, quality motorcycle makers in China.

Which manufacturer is China’s biggest and most successful? It’s a battle between Zongshen and Loncin, according to David McMullan

After dominating markets in Latin America and Africa for many years, both companies have cast their greedy eyes towards the west, and slowly but surely they are drawing their plans for the invasion of Europe and America. Loncin is currently the biggest exporter of Chinese motorcycles (an accolade it has held for six years successively) but Zongshen is breathing down its neck and has confidently proclaimed that it will take the title in the near future. Here the

two companies go toe to toe on an effort to find out who will be undisputed champion of the future.

Locations and marketsBoth companies are headquartered in the motorcycle capital Chongqing and have factories and offices around the world. Zongshen has also established marketing companies or offices in the USA, Philippines, Pakistan, Colombia, Nigeria, Russia, and Brazil. At present, the international sales network covers 81 countries and regions in the world, and Zongshen Motorcycle has registered Zongshen, Zipstar and Cyclone trademarks. There are an estimated 21 million Zongshen users in the world.

Loncin has offices in many countries and also runs factories in Vietnam and Indonesia. Many of Loncin’s motorcycles sell in their millions in Mexico under the Italika brand which is made in Chongqing and shipped CKD to assembly plants in Mexico. Italika could be the single biggest export customer for the Chinese motorcycle industry.

Joint venturesLoncin has a famous and successful relationship with BMW which involves producing motorcycle engines for the German giant (currently

“The Loncin racing team has competed at the very highest levels, including FIM MotoGP 125 competitions; it’s the only

Chinese motorcycle racing team to have done so”

30,000 650cc units a year) and also the whole of BMW’s maxi scooter range, as well as producing the highly acclaimed LX 650 in conjunction with Italian company EE. Kawasaki and Loncin signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) on 1st June 2012 to help Kawasaki (the only one of the big four Japanese makers not currently selling models in China) enter the Chinese market with the help of Loncin’s manufacturing and sales channels. So far, this partnership hasn’t yielded much more than a press release for market-watchers, and on 18th January 2013, Kawasaki announced that the LOI had been terminated; even so, there is a chance that this cooperation could get back on track.

Zongshen also has lucrative joint ventures. The company has been in a strategic partnership with Italian maker Piaggio since 2004. As a result of this partnership, Zongshen is involved with the production of Vespa and Piaggio models and distributes Piaggio-branded motorcycles in China. Zongshen is also a distribution partner for Harley-Davidson in China, where it is tasked with helping the brand get established – although the relationship is now strained. Zongshen has now reached an agreement with Norton in which Norton will make bigger displacement engines. It is thought that this partnership could go much further.

Most of the products for export are rebranded, but Zongshen has recently bucked the trend by producing the ‘Cyclone’ range, which it insists will remain its own brand, in an

attempt at brand recognition in Europe and America.

Loncin has also expressed an intent to develop its own brand, but it is in the early stages, whereas Cyclone has begun its production, distribution and marketing drive.

Motosport involvementZongshen has won the TTXGP (the electric motorcycle equivalent to the Isle of Man TT), although the electric motorcycle it used wasn’t strictly Zongshen-made. The firm has also been a regular winner of Chinese Superbikes.

The Loncin racing team has competed at the very highest levels, having competed in FIM MotoGP 125 competitions; it’s the only Chinese motorcycle racing team to have done so.

ConclusionWhile Loncin is the slightly bigger manufacturer, Zongshen has stolen the lead when it comes to breaking American markets by beginning to market the Cyclone. Both companies have impressive joint ventures. Nonetheless, I would have to concede that Loncin’s long-term joint venture with BMW is slightly the more impressive. Loncin has the edge on any manufacturer in China in motosport, having competed in MotoGP. Zongshen has excelled at TTXGP, which is a fast-growing sport. In terms of global coverage, both factories are represented in many countries in the world on every continent.

Which is likely to go farthest in future? While Loncin may currently possess a slightly better CV, it seems that Zongshen are the company with bigger ambition. Time will tell, but one thing is for sure, of all the bigger motorcycle manufacturers in China, these two are the ones to watch.

Business Journal

En route to data protection shake-up

D ata protection law has recently been updated by Europe and will be in place in less than

two years. Despite the Brexit vote, businesses and organisations need to note the numerous changes, as the penalties for breaches will be severe and adjusting to the new rules will take time.

The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was finalised at the end of April 2016 after four years of discussion, disagreement and negotiation. It will directly affect all member states from May 2018. Firms have a choice – they can either take the GDPR seriously and use it as an opportunity to review their approach to data protection or they can hope it goes away – which it won’t.

A question arises: Now that we’re scheduled to leave the EU will the GDPR still matter? The answer is yes, it will. This is because we will still be an EU member state when the legislation comes in but also, when we leave the EU, it will be in the UK’s interest to have something equivalent to the GDPR for trading reasons and also because it’ll be an insular business that doesn’t hold data on EU citizens.

Take the law seriouslyAndrew Gallie, a senior associate at Veale Wasbrough Vizards specialising in information and data protection law, says the GDPR is not a monster and needs to be taken seriously. “Changes will be required, and if the required changes are not made, firms risk considerable fines and reputational damage. Indeed, under the GDPR, those organisations that breach the law could face a fine of up to four per cent of annual worldwide turnover or €20m [whichever is the

greater].” This is markedly higher than

the £500,000 that the Information Commissioner (ICO) can levy now - and fines are being levied. The majority are imposed because of security breaches and a failure to take data protection seriously.

PresentlyThe present data protection regime, under the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA), protects a person’s rights in respect of their personal data and is built upon eight data protection principles. These are all common sense and require that personal data is processed fairly and lawfully; obtained and used for specified and lawful purposes only; adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to their purposes; accurate and up-to-date; not kept for longer than is necessary; processed in accordance with the individual’s rights; kept secure; and not transferred outside of the EEA without adequate protection.

Apart from these criteria, Gallie says there are other points to note about the present law. “The first is that there are extra obligations when handling sensitive personal data such as information about ethnic origin, sexual life, trade union membership, etc. Further, individuals have a right via a Subject Access Request (SAR) to find out what information is held about them.”

Gallie believes that the GDPR should act as a catalyst for a review of current data protection practices – “those that leave the critical preparation until the last minute could find that there is a real danger that they won’t be compliant in time.”

He adds that the GDPR “requires ‘data protection by design’ and

operates on an ‘accountability principle’ which will require firms to show how they comply by, for example, having effective policies and procedures.”

Rights of the individualIndividuals have a right to know what is going to be done with their data, and who it is going to be shared with. A website privacy notice can tell people about this. Gallie says that under the GDPR there is additional information which must be provided: “Firms will need to tell data subjects – users - the legal basis for processing their data, the data retention period, and of their right to complain to the Information Commissioner. There is also a requirement that the privacy notice is concise, easy to understand and in clear language.”

The GDPR confers new rights such as having inaccuracies corrected, to have information erased, to prevent direct marketing and a right to data portability (because of this, firms will have to provide data electronically). Presently, firms have 40 days to respond to a subject access request but under the GDPR this will drop down to a month. “Refusing a request will require a firm to have appropriate policies and procedures in place,” says Gallie. “There will also be obligations to provide additional information such as data retention periods and the right to have inaccurate data corrected.”

For many, the most challenging area under the DPA is that of “consent” and Gallie says that consent to use personal data cannot be inferred from silence, pre-ticked boxes or inactivity. “The GDPR requires that consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. If a firm is going to rely upon ‘implicit consent’

The EU is soon to implement sweeping changes to data protection law which will affect us all – notwithstanding Brexit. Adam Bernstein reports

P041043_BJ.indd 41 23/08/2016 10:33:11

Business Journal

then it must be ready to deal with a challenge as to how unambiguous the consent was.”

Further, if an organisation collects information about children (in the UK, this will probably be those under 13) then it will need a parent’s or guardian’s consent. Gallie says this will need to be verifiable, and, of course, the language used in the privacy notice must be capable of being understood by children.

There is presently no general obligation to report data breaches but the GDPR radically changes this and creates an obligation to report within 74 hours data protection breaches that could cause an individual harm. “Firms should consider how they would deal with this new obligation,” says Gallie. “They should be asking: How secure are their systems? What training do staff have? Is personal data encrypted? What breaches might result in an obligation to report? How would the harm to individuals be mitigated? Do the procedures in place around data breaches allow these obligations to be met?”

One solution to compliance is obvious, reckons Gallie – “appointing

a capable, interested person with the responsibility for ensuring that the obligations are met.”

The GDPR is a real and present threat to firms and organisations of all

sizes, and the financial consequences for ignoring the new rules are severe. However, those who plan ahead and choose to follow their obligations should have little to worry about.

Retail examplesIn August 2015 the BBC reported that the personal details of 2.4m Carphone Warehouse customers had been accessed in a cyber-attack while at the same time, up to 90,000 customers may have had their encrypted credit card details accessed. The company’s investigation found that the data could have included names, addresses, dates of birth and bank details. The Information Commissioner’s website noted the attack and said: “We have been made aware of this incident at the Carphone Warehouse and are making enquiries. Any time personal data is lost there can be a risk of identity theft.”

In October 2015 Marks & Spencer suspended its website for two hours after customers complained that their personal information had been leaked on its portal. The retailer confirmed the incident and said that the site was not hacked, but admitted to the “data breach”, claiming it was due to a technical issue. It was the third breach that week that also saw TalkTalk and British Gas in trouble too.

In February 2016 MoneySavingExpert.com ran a story that detailed how a data breach at an unidentified online retailer could have led to credit card users having their account details “compromised”. As a result, Tesco Bank has already cancelled some of its customers’ cards as a precaution and users of cards from other companies were also likely affected. Tesco Bank and Mastercard have not revealed the identity of the online retailer that reported the breach. But it’s possible multiple credit card providers’ customers have been put at risk – a Mastercard spokesperson said, “this situation is not unique to Mastercard or even Tesco”.

Don’t cross the discrimination lineEmployers faced with workplace discrimination charges stand to lose huge sums in the compensation they are forced to pay. Adam Bernstein examines the risks and safeguards

An allegation of discrimination in the workplace can create significant problems for

employers and, while the total overall number of employment tribunal claims are falling, employers continue to face discrimination complaints on a regular basis, especially in retail.

In February 2016, for example, it was reported that a Starbucks worker, Meseret Kumulchew, had won her dyslexia discrimination case after making mistakes owing to her difficulties with reading, writing and telling the time. Asda has also faced

a significant equal pay claim from its female workers. Large employers also now need to be aware of their obligations in respect to Gender Pay reporting.

As the Equality and Human Rights Commission notes in its strategic plan, the UK has “a growing, ageing and increasingly diverse population, placing greater demands on public services and infrastructure while also providing an expanding workforce to contribute to funding and delivering these services.” The problem may become more acute.

Employers getting discrimination

issues wrong can create significant problems, reckons Mark Stevens, a solicitor at Veale Wasbrough Vizards, who notes that defending an Employment Tribunal claim can be time-consuming and expensive: “Discrimination claims can seriously damage an employer’s reputation. Not only that, but in the event that a discrimination claim succeeds, there is no cap on the amount of compensation that can be awarded.”

A couple of cases illustrate the risk well. In 2014 Group Captain Wendy Williams was passed over

P041043_BJ.indd 42 23/08/2016 10:33:11

http://moneysavingexpert.com/

September 2016 43

for promotion in favour of a male colleague who had served 3.5 years fewer than her. She took the Ministry of Defence to an employment tribunal accusing the RAF of favouring men. Williams won and was awarded £560,000 to cover loss of earnings, loss of pension contribution and injury to personal feelings. More recently, in late 2015, in the case of Waddingham v NHS Business Services Authority, the employment tribunal held that an NHS trust committed disability discrimination against an employee having cancer treatment who was required to undergo a competitive interview process during a redeployment exercise. The employee was awarded £115,000.

Clearly discrimination cannot be ignored, which means that employers must be prepared to deal with equality issues in their workplace. It surprises many to know that discrimination law covers a wide range of individuals including job applicants, agency workers, employees and contractors. Even former employees are protected. Further, Stevens warns that employers can be found to be vicariously liable for the discriminatory actions of their employees – “meaning that they could be found to be responsible for their employees’ discriminatory conduct.”

Types of discriminationWorkers are protected against suffering discrimination in relation to a number of different protected characteristics: age, disability, gender, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation.

There are different types of discrimination that employers should be aware of, says Stevens. “The first, direct discrimination, occurs when a worker is treated less favourably than others because of a protected characteristic. An example would be where a female employee is overlooked for promotion because she is a woman – the RAF case above is a perfect example of this.”

Direct discrimination cannot be objectively justified (with the exception of direct discrimination on the grounds of age). This means that, generally, employers cannot argue that there was a legitimate reason behind the decision to treat a worker differently because of their particular protected characteristic.

The second type of discrimination - often more subtle - is that of indirect discrimination. Indirect discrimination can occur when an employer does something, or puts in place a policy, which has the effect of disadvantaging a particular group of people with one of the protected characteristics noted earlier. And this is where Stevens highlights the big problem here: this type of discrimination can occur without the employer intending to treat anyone less favourably: “Let’s say an employer introduces a bonus that is payable to only those employees who work full-time and who have 100 per cent attendance. This could be indirectly discriminatory towards its female employees as, statistically, women are more likely than men to have childcare responsibility and work part-time hours. The requirement that someone has 100 per cent attendance could also disproportionally impact workers with disabilities who may have a higher level of absence.”

The saving grace for employers is that, unlike with direct discrimination, they can seek to justify indirect discrimination by showing that their actions were a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim. This means a careful and written analysis of the business reasons behind the decision or policy – though saving costs is unlikely to be accepted as a legitimate aim on its own.

The next type is harassment, a form of discrimination frequently considered by the Employment Tribunal. It’s defined as unwanted conduct related to a relevant protected characteristic which has the purpose or effect of either violating an individual’s dignity, or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for that individual.

What is interesting here,” says Stevens, “is that the perpetrator’s intention is irrelevant and the victim’s perception of the way that they have been treated is important. While the perpetrator may consider his or her conduct to merely be ‘banter’ – for instance, teasing someone about their national origins or a religious belief – this will not be a viable defence to a discrimination claim. One-off incidents can amount to harassment. The victim does not need to have told the perpetrator that the conduct was unwanted.” Hence, this is very

dangerous ground for employers. Employers should note that unwanted conduct of a sexual nature can be caught by harassment protections.

Workers are also protected against suffering victimisation in the workplace, which Stevens says can arise in circumstances “where an employee alleges that they have suffered from discrimination and then suffers a determent or less favourable treatment as a result.” So taking the RAF case above, where an employee complains that they have suffered from harassment on the grounds of their sex and, having made that complaint, is subsequently passed over for promotion, that employee could argue that they have suffered from victimisation.

Lastly, employers can be caught out by the positive duty to make reasonable adjustments for disabled employees.

Preventative measuresThe advice from Stevens is to put in place - and follow - an equal opportunities policy. “The policy,” says Stevens, “should seek to ensure that all staff are aware of their obligation not to discriminate and what this means in practice.” This alone should help protect against the risk of being found to be liable for the actions of employees.

Next, employers should train staff on equality issues. From Stevens’s point of view, this is important as it allows an employer to argue that it did everything it could do in order prevent discrimination from occurring. By extension, employers need to ensure that discriminatory behaviour is not tolerated and is dealt with by appropriate disciplinary action. The last piece of advice from Stevens relates to employee communication: “to understand their specific needs arising from the protected characteristics in the workplace.”

It’s worth noting that from October 2016, employers in the private or voluntary sectors with 250 or more employees will be required to publish certain information about the pay that its employees receive. This includes information about the overall gender pay gap figures calculated using both the mean and median average hourly pay, information about pay bands and bonus pay across its business. It’ll be interesting to see how this affects pay in the smaller business.
