From private to plc

We hand over Bentleys Motor Group to Inchcape Retail plc as part of an acquisition agreement.

We have worked with Stephen Langley and his team for 14 years!

It's been a pleasure to work with the Group. The early days were a bit fraught as we experienced some pushback following recommendations which would provide a more seamless and coherent platform for the business to operate within.

Just imagine if both parties had not been willing to overcome the teething problems - look at what we both would have missed!

There have been wonderful people that we have met during our time with the Group; some have moved onto other opportunities, some have stayed to enjoy long careers. All have left an impression, and some will remain friends no matter what the future holds.

As I wrote in their last press release regarding the acquisition, the automotive industry is undergoing an intense transformation as it leaves behind combustion engines and welcomes newer, greener power sources such as electricity, hydrogen, and electro fuels.

We look forward to being part of this global transformation.
