Pendragon raises profits to £20M after £377M Lithia takeover, plans UK expansion and site sales

Pendragon, the former UK car dealership giant acquired by US firm Lithia Motors for £377 million in February 2024, plans to sell underperforming dealerships whilst expanding its UK operations. The company reported profits rising from £4 million in 2023 to £20 million in 2024. Lithia UK Holding Limited, which combines Pendragon with Lithia's existing UK division, has cut hundreds of jobs since the takeover, previously announcing around 250 redundancies to focus on prominent national chains like Evans Halshaw and Stratstone. Pendragon previously employed approximately 7,000 people across the country. The company paid a £50 million dividend to investors during 2024. Its Pinewood Technologies division was not included in the sale and now operates independently from Birmingham Business Park.
