Automotive Update

Trading for any businesses associated with the Automotive Industry this year has been unusually tough but we are starting to see certain sectors experiencing a significant upturn in the last quarter of 2009.

Generally speaking it appears the more prestigious end of the market (cars over £60,000) are starting to roll off the production line in increased volumes. We've certainly seen a big increase in the number of badges for Range Rover and other high end models.

We are particularly proud of our long term association with Lotus Cars and to be part of the success of their Evora launched in 2009. This new model recently won the title 'EVO car of the year 2009' with the Lotus 2-Eleven taking the prestigious 'EVO track car of the year 2009'. The Lotus Evora, along with cars from many other top manufacturers including Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin were all put through their paces with the Lotus Evora beating all other entrants.
