What Perrys Motor Sales does
Perrys Motor Sales is a UK franchised car and van dealer group operating 50+ showrooms and service centres across England, with concentration in the East Midlands, South Yorkshire, Kent, Lancashire, and Buckinghamshire. Founded in 1908 and headquartered in London, the group is authorised by 13 automotive manufacturers (Ford, Kia, Mazda, Vauxhall, Citroën, Peugeot, BYD, MG, Geely, Leapmotor, Chery, OMODA, JAECOO), making it one of the longest-established multi-franchise dealer networks in the UK. The business is structured across two FCA-authorised private limited companies — Perrys Motor Sales Ltd. (FCA 307639) and Perrys East Midlands Ltd. (FCA 308624) — sharing VAT registration and credit-broking infrastructure.
The group's core offering is a full vehicle lifecycle stack: new and used vehicle sales (retail and commercial), PCP and HP finance broking, manufacturer-warranty servicing and MOT testing, mobile SMART repair, parts, commercial van customisation (ply lining, livery), and a dedicated Car & Van Rental division based at Chesterfield. Customer acquisition is split across individual retail consumers, Motability Scheme leaseholders (across 12 brands), Blue Light Card/key-worker programmes, and Ford corporate-scheme employees. Distribution is primarily physical-dealership with an online storefront (perrys.co.uk) featuring brand pages, finance calculators, dealer-locator, and part-exchange valuation tools.
Revenue is generated through one-time vehicle-sale margins, finance-commission transaction fees, usage-based rental income, recurring aftersales services, and commercial-van customisation professional-services fees. The group has no disclosed funding rounds, M&A, or external private-equity ownership, consistent with a privately held, multi-generational retail operator. Strategic emphasis in 2025-2026 is on EV-led product expansion (Mazda6e, Mazda CX-6e, Kia EV2) and the build-out of Chinese OEM franchises to position for the UK zero-emission transition.

Perrys Motor Sales competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Stoneacre Motor Group: UK privately-held multi-franchise dealer group with overlapping brand portfolio (Ford, Kia, MG, BYD, Vauxhall, Mazda). Comparable private, multi-site franchised dealer expanding in the EV/new-brand segments.
- JCT600: Privately-held Yorkshire-based dealer group representing many of the same brands as Perrys (including Volvo, Audi, Jaguar, Ford). Closely comparable premium and volume multi-franchise UK dealer.
- Vertu Motors: UK AIM-listed multi-brand franchised dealer group operating ~150 sites across Britain. Shares the same Ford/Kia/Mazda/Vauxhall/Citroen/Peugeot franchise mix, plus similar finance, aftersales, and Motability revenue streams — the closest publicly-traded comparable for Perrys.
- Marshall Motor Group: UK multi-brand franchised dealer group now operating under Constellation Automotive following recent acquisition. Directly comparable for multi-franchise portfolio, manufacturer-trained service operations, and finance broker activity.
- Hendy Group: South-coast UK family-owned multi-franchise dealer group. Closely comparable multi-brand franchise model with strong regional concentration, aftersales, and finance broker operations.
Others
- Cox Automotive UK: Provider of dealer software, remarketing, and fleet services to UK franchised dealers including Perrys' competitors. Industry-services peer shaping the same dealer ecosystem rather than competing for retail customers.
- Auto Trader UK: Dominant UK vehicle marketplace used by Perrys' franchises and competitors for new/used car listings. Marketplace enabler rather than direct competitor, but a critical channel for dealer inventory distribution.
Broad incumbents
- Lookers: Major UK multi-franchise automotive retailer. Comparable for franchise mix (Ford, Kia, Vauxhall, Citroen, Peugeot, MG, BYD), finance broker, and aftersales scale — useful benchmark for private-peer valuation.
- Inchcape UK: London-listed global premium automotive distributor and retailer with major UK dealer footprint. Broader incumbent with overlapping franchised dealer activity and similar exposure to OEM-driven EV transition.
- Arnold Clark: UK's largest privately-owned car dealer group operating across all major franchises (including Ford, Kia, Vauxhall, MG, BYD). Directly comparable multi-brand, multi-site franchised dealership model with national coverage and similar aftersales, finance, and Motability offerings.
