Days Motor Group grappled with inflationary pressures and economic uncertainty in 2025 with pre-tax profits down 24.8% to £12.1m and turnover down 3.9% to £291.2m in 2025.
The dealer group, which celebrates it centenary this year, now employs over 550 staff and trades from 19 premises spread across Wales and England.
“During 2025, market conditions remain challenging,” it said in accounts filed at Companies House.
“Ongoing economic uncertainty, inflationary pressures and higher interest rates continue to weigh on the consumer confidence and discretionary spending on higher value purchases such as vehicles.
“In addition, the motor retail sector continues to adapt to structural changes, including the transition towards electrified vehicles and evolving manufacturer distribution models.
Against this backdrop, the retail company reported revenue of £170m for the year, representing an 11% reduction compared to the previous period.
“Despite this, the business maintained gross profit margins broadly in line with the prior year, demonstrating the continued focus on disciplined pricing, effective stock management and the strong contribution of the aftersales divisions.”
“Overall, 2025 was undoubtedly a more challenging year than previous. However, we continue to demonstrate exceptional resilience and as a result, we achieved impressive performance and profitability.
“This success underscores the unwavering commitment and professionalism of our team, ensuring that our business continues to thrive even in challenging political and economic uncertainty.”
