UK car sales February 2014 up 3% on 2013
Jeff Hyde, Finance Director, Rudolph and Hellmann Automotive provides his view on what is needed in the drive for continued success.
With UK automotive manufacturers posting increased profits and rising sales, the trend of month on month sales continues to boost confidence. Last year, the UK overtook France to become Europe's second-largest car market behind Germany, which saw 2.95 million new car sales.
The SMMT forecasts output will reach record levels, with about two million cars rolling off production lines by 2017.
So what does this mean?
It means automotive logistics and the management of supply chains is going to be the critical factor in these coming months and years. As OEM manufacturing becomes leaner and Tier 1, 2 & 3 have more demands placed upon them – the need for an experienced automotive logistics partner has never been higher.
Rudolph and Hellmann Automotive are ideally positioned and have the right combination of experience, financial strength and humility. We haven't forgotten where we started, which is why we have the highest staff retention levels in the sector.
