Stellantis UK revealed its plan to adopt a contiguous market area-style network, with the loss of 138 of its 918 franchised sales points. Group managing director Paul Willcox (pictured) said the plan has been formulated with "sustainability and viability" in mind. It targets a 1.2% average return on sales, with 1.5% to 1.8% for Alfa Romeo and DS. A Pendragon spokesman confirmed the AM100 PLC had become motor retail's latest victim of hackers.
