Our Strategy
All of the businesses across the Pendragon Group are united in realising our vision to transform automotive retail through digital innovation and operational excellence.
Our strategy is brought to life through three strategic priorities for growth and transformation, these are:
- Unlock value in franchised UK motor by accelerating digital innovation, driving operational excellence, best practice and cost control
- Accelerate Pinewood’s geographic expansion. Diversify into new products which can be utilised by our group before also being offered to the wider customer base
- Disrupt hybrid used car sales in the UK by differentiating the customer experience and scaling the number of sites
We believe that our long-term strategic ambitions, coupled with the experienced and dedicated Associates we have across our businesses will enable us to unlock the full potential of our brands.
