Fleet Sales (as a % of Total Sales) | | Sales accessed from car fleet operators. | | | |
| | The Company will continue to focus on providing dealer quality services at independent garage prices. | | This year has seen tough fleet market conditions.

Number of Centres | | The number of autocentre servicing centres within the UK. | | | |
| | Our research on the geography and demographics of the c.£9bn Car Servicing and repair market and of our local catchment sizes shows that there is scope for up to 600 autocentres. | | We continue to target an opening programme of between 20 to 30 new centres per year as well as building a future pipeline of quality sites. | | 283 | | Details |
Jobs per Productive per Week ("jpppw") | | Total jobs undertaken by the centres divided by the average number of productive technicians and apprentices. | | | |
