Clare James smashes targets
North-west Clare James Automotive has exceeded budgets for turnover and profits in the year to June 30, 2007.
Return on sales has risen year-on-year from 1.77% to 2.05%.
The company puts its success down to a combination of growing its existing businesses – Volkswagen outlets in Warrington and Liverpool – and the acquisition of Lightcliffe Motors in March.
Lightcliffe added a third VW showroom to the group and a Skoda authorised repair business in Halifax.
Turnover for continuing operations rose from £56.746m to £74.293m, while the Lightcliffe business added just over £5m, taking overall turnover to £79.46m
