About Cambria - www.cambriaautomobilesplc.com
Cambria Automobiles ("Cambria") was established in March 2006 with the aim of creating a balanced independent UK motor retail group through a self funded "buy and build" strategy, focused on turnaround opportunities.
Working in close cooperation with its manufacturer partners, the Group has built a balanced portfolio of 28 luxury, premium and volume dealerships, representing 45 franchises and 18 brands, with geographical representation spanning from the North West to the South East in Kent and South West in Exeter. These businesses are autonomous and trade under local brand names, including, Dees, Doves, Grange, Invicta, Motorparks and Pure Triumph.
Cambria's brand portfolio currently comprises Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Citroen, Dacia, Ford, Fiat, Honda, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Mazda, Nissan, Renault, Seat, Triumph, Vauxhall and Volvo.
The management's success in turning around under-performing dealerships has allowed Cambria to build a strong balance sheet. As a result, the Group is in a position to acquire valuable premium operations, like the recently acquired Jaguar Land Rover business in Barnet, which are immediately earnings enhancing and directly in line with the Group's strategy to further enhance the brand portfolio.
The Group's medium term ambition is to create a £1 billion turnover business producing attractive returns on both capital and equity invested.
