Founded in 1954, Arnold Clark is the UK’s largest independent, family-run car retailer. The company started with a single-car showroom on Glasgow’s Park Road, given flight by its founder’s simple philosophy: to offer genuine value for money and customer service of the highest level.
Since then, the Arnold Clark Group has continued to grow with over 200 branches in the UK – selling over 200,000 cars a year in locations stretching from Elgin to Southampton.
But while Arnold Clark is a name that’s synonymous with vehicle sales, there’s much more to the business than you see on the showroom floor. There’s also a vehicle rental and fleet management operation, training group and vehicle auction division. The Group offers everything that a customer might need for the onward journey, with parts and servicing departments, an accident repairs division, EV charging solutions and insurance services.
Vertu Motors plc (which predominantly trades under the Bristol Street Motors, Macklin Motors, Vertu Motors and Vertu Motorcycles brands) was formed in late 2006 to acquire and consolidate UK motor retail businesses. The Group was founded as a new entrant into the UK motor retail sector and is listed on the AIM market (UK:VTU).
Since flotation in December 2006, the Group has established itself as a major player in the United Kingdom automotive retail sector. The Group operates over 190 outlets representing over 28 manufacturers across the UK.
