Executive summary

Citygate Automotive Limited operates as a formidable, multi-franchise regional dealer group whose 26-site footprint in the affluent South East market provides significant scale advantages and brand diversification.

The group's long-term resilience will depend on maximizing its high-margin aftersales operations and navigating the structural margin compression threatening new car retail revenues.
