Turnover topped £800 million as a Stoke-on-Trent automotive group enjoyed one of its “best annual achievements in recent years”.
T.G Holdcroft (Holdings) reported turnover of £826 million for the year ended 31 December 2025, compared to £754.6 million in 2024.
Pre-tax profits rose 19% in the same 12 months, from £7.7 million to £9.2 million.
The group said 2025 was a “period of recovery” for new retail vehicle sales, which increased by 13% year-on-year to 6,052. “
Its corporate division delivered a record year of sales up 22% on the previous period, while mobility sales reduced by 23% but in line with the wider national market.
Used retail sales also declined, but this was attributed to the difficulties in sourcing good-quality used vehicles.
In a group strategic reports, directors said: “When reflecting on the financial performance of 2025, we are extremely proud of the outcome and believe this sits amongst our best annual achievements in recent years.
“The journey though 2025 has been a very challenging one and given the increases in costs, driven principally by employment costs and associated taxation, we feel that the company is on a very firm footing as we tackle the changes in the automotive landscape that the next few years will bring.
“The increasing number of new entrants to the UK vehicle market will no doubt destabilise the current incumbents and give a fresh choice to the consumer. We must acknowledge that the landscape is changing, and our organisation has always been agile and able to adapt quickly and open to new opportunities which will strengthen the company and add further options to our customer base.”
