Automotive
Providing you with the right tools to run your business
The automotive industry has undergone significant development in the last year, shaped by rapid advancements in technology, shifting consumer preferences, sustainability goals, and ongoing challenges such as supply chain disruptions and labour shortages.
We have also seen rapid growth of EV vehicles which are set to change the automotive space in the coming years.
We have extensive experience acting across the automotive industry, including supporting dealerships, digital retailers, innovators and engineers, distribution and logistics businesses, auto centres, repair businesses, wholesalers, and parts manufacturers.
The current environment of fast-paced change has seen major advances regarding energy, autonomy, and production. Coupled with an evolving customer and regulatory landscape, the pressure for automotive companies to increase profitability, and protect and secure their supply chains, all whilst focusing on ESG and accountability has never been greater.
We have seen first-hand how niche parts of critical supply chains have experienced and responded to changing pressures and supported our clients through this journey. Looking to the future, we can see how different parts of the value chain are expecting revenue growth at varying rates, matched with expected volatility in margins. We think that means that, now more than ever, having expert financial systems and advice in place is critical for businesses to thrive in the sector.
