Motor 150 Report

Motor retail is the shop floor of the UK automotive industry, which has become an established and interdependent network of businesses with a combined annual turnover of £52 billion and a total workforce of 820,000. Within this workforce, around 640,000 are employed in the post-production businesses of motor retail, supply and servicing.*

In this light, the Motor 150 Report – revealing the aggregated performance of a study group comprising the top 150** companies in the UK motor retail sector – is an important business barometer. As such, this report, which covers performance in the latest audited accounts and looks forward into the current and future accounting periods, does not specify or comment upon the individual performance of companies, except where it is relevant to explain a variance from the market norm or to highlight a fresh sector trend.

Our aim in producing the Motor 150 Report is to provide a considered insight into recent economic events and sector activity, the current and future dynamics of motor retailing, and to offer our professional views and advice for the future.
