Vertu Motors is one of the leading car retailers in the UK, operating nationally across a range of brands.
Vertu (VTU)
Traction control
Vertu is the fourth largest automotive retailer in the UK, with 188 sales outlets and a track record of cross-cycle growth, principally through businesses it has acquired, funded by equity, debt and most importantly cash generation. Vertu operates across the entire vehicle lifecycle, including new and used vehicle sales, and vehicle servicing, repair and parts. Service and repair is a 40+% gross margin repeating business. With economic headwinds, the transition to electric vehicles, recent overseas investment in the UK market and noise about new business models, the next few years should be interesting. Vertu is well placed to be a winner on several fronts.
