Swansway Motor Group has announced record profits after a solid year in a 'challenging environment'.

The family owned business reported a profit before tax of £10.1m in its annual financial results for 2025, which is a 30 per cent increase in profits made in 2024. 

Directors saw turnover increase by 2.5 per cent, from £986m in 2024 to £1.01 billion in 2025.

A strengthening of their balance sheet with shareholders’ funds increasing to £69.4m (from £69 in 2024) and the EBITDA (earnings before interest tax and depreciation) rising from £19m to £21.3m. 

Peter Smyth, director at Swansway Motor Group said: “2025 was another good year for our dealerships and a real reflection of the hard work and commitment from our teams across the business. We’ve continued to invest in our people, our locations and our customer experience, and it’s fantastic to see that effort translate into such strong results.

Despite challenges across the automotive sector, we’ve stayed focused on what we do best, offering great value, trusted service and a personal approach that sets us apart as a family business. Our Motor Match division has been a particularly pleasing performer, continuing to grow and connect with customers looking for quality used vehicles.

"We’re pleased to see profits increase to £10.1m, up from £7.7m in 2024, alongside turnover growth from £986m to £1,011m.

"It puts us in a strong position as we move into 2026, and we’re excited to keep building on this momentum.”
