Significant events
- “Company expanded with Peugeot by adding the franchise alongside Vauxhall in Rotherham and in May 2025 added Peugeot alongside Vauxhall in Canterbury. In December 2024 the Company has also started a new franchise partnership with Omoda and Jaecoo in our multi franchise site in Aylesbury.”
- “Company benefitted from exceptional income following the sale of a property in Colne which allowed the Mazda franchise operations to be merged with Blackburn with associated cost savings.”
- “The Company also incurred one off exceptional costs of £157k for site closure and one off legal costs in connection with a business interruption claim.”
- “An updated version of the website will be launched in May 2025 as part of the ongoing commitment to improve customer satisfaction and user experience.”
- “Subsequent to year end a Director drew down £26,000 out of a possible £26,000 loan to cover tax related liabilities for the share option exercise. The amount has been added to the loan balance detailed in note 28. A change to the loan agreement was also made in that any dividends received by the Director will no longer have to be used to repay the loan.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
