Significant events

• “Turnover increased by 11% on the prior year principally driven by increased heavy duty truck sales offset by reduced light commercials vehicle sales due to a pause in production and launch of an all-new 3.5 tonne Renault Trucks Master product n Q4 2024 and competitor price point issues where one of our brands is out of line with the general offer in the marketplace.”
• “The gross margin fell from 5.4% to 4.7% due to increased competitive vehicle pricing as chassis supply returned to the market and the ongoing impact of vehicle stocking interest rises which move in line with UK base rates and which the Company treats as a cost of sale expense rather than a finance cost.”
• “In the aftermarket side of the business both workshop and parts sales increased on the prior year, but Inflationary cost pressure also remained significant and substantially above UK published rates of inflation, both in terms of employment costs and general overhead costs.”
• “The Company continues to invest in understanding customer requirements, monitoring vehicle performance and developing operating procedures to improve ongoing results.”
• “The Company has a strong order book going into 2025 in what is expected to be a further year of decline in our key segment of heavy-duty commercial vehicle registrations.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
