Inchcape UK will reassert its commitment to growth with the creation of an all-new standalone used car sales division and a series of large-scale dealership development projects. After making headlines with the disposal of 20 dealerships in the past two years and losing the 'retail' classification from its London Stock Exchange listing as its global focus shifted towards distribution, the PLC is on course to fulfil the goals of its five-year plan. Chief executive James Brearley told AM he is "really proud" of the results of the project to 'right-size' the group and harness technology to streamline its operations and drive omnichannel retail. Now he's keen to grow through local market "dominance" with the help of a new 20-site used car retail operation. "I think we now have a really good structure and we've positioned ourselves to maximise opportunity in our market areas," says Brearley. "With our new footprint and omnichannel retail, we're in really good shape to embrace the opportunities that the market presents." Brearley has overseen a dramatic restructure of Inchcape UK since he joined as chief executive in January 2017. |
