Halliwell Jones profit fall ‘satisfactory’, say directors
21 October 2018
Directors at BMW and MINI retailer Halliwell Jones described figures showing a fall in pre-tax profits of more than 60% as ‘satisfactory’ given the trading climate last year.
The Cheshire and North Wales business saw turnover grow from around £66 million to £71m but pre-tax profits dropped sharply from £457,110 to £174,400.
In its financial statement for 2017, the directors wrote that they “believe this result represents a satisfactory performance, particularly given the relatively difficult trading environment that most franchised motor retailers faced during 2017, including within the BMW network”.
