Wrightbus has contributed more than £1.5 billion to the UK economy thanks to support for home-grown suppliers and UK workforce. Sourcing supplies from 47 counties across the United Kingdom has generated millions of pounds in revenue for businesses producing everything from heating systems and powertrains to laser cutting and fabrication. “Every pound generated by Wrightbus creates another £3 in the wider economy and every job here ensures another three jobs are safe across the supply chain. The knock-on effect is tremendous and really proves the impact of buying British at every level. When operators buy a Wrightbus they’re not just buying a class-leading product or our first-class expertise, they’re buying something that supports the whole of the UK.” Jean-Marc Gales, Wrightbus CEO. One of those businesses is McKenna Brothers, a family business in Manchester supplying LED destinations, vehicle graphics and next stop announcements, with all the software that goes with it. “Our revenues for the first two months of this year are already ahead of where we were for the whole of 2023,” said Sales Director John Hartley. “A strong public transport sector has a huge impact down the supply chain. If the industry does well, we all do well. Ian Paisley, the Democratic Unionist Party MP for North Antrim, where our main factory is located, added his support to the success story. "Wrightbus has not only generated new, well-paid, highly-skilled jobs for the people of Ballymena but shown the rest of the world the way forward in zero-emissions transport.” Read more on this story from Jean-Marc Gales, John Hartley and Ian Paisley MP: https://lnkd.in/eWTzMYRn #Wrightbus #DrvingAGreenerFuture #UKSupplyChain #UKEconomy #UKManufacturing

Lithia CEO Bryan DeBoer: “Today marks the formal completion of our investment in Pinewood and Pendragon" February 1. 2024 ANE, SK Lithia Automotive Inc successfully concluded its acquisition of the U.K. car dealership group Pendragon PLC.

Approval from the U.K. Competition and Markets Authority and Financial Conduct Authority paved the way for the acquisition. While Lithia eliminated contingencies related to automaker approvals, it maintained the requirement for Financial Conduct Authority clearance. The revised offer, overwhelmingly endorsed by Pendragon shareholders in October, amounted to 397 million pounds, approximately $482 million at the time of the revised offer in early October.-we reported #automotive #retail #dealership #lithia #LithiaandDriveway #pendragon #AutomotiveRetailInside

To say this transacion was a process is an understatement. Representation of this client started in September of 2020. This site took us over a year to evaluate and ultimately close on. Buying undeveloped property is not easy! This was the 8th site that we dug deeply into before being successful. With the other sites, we ran into every problem you could find: poor soils quality, restrictive easements, zoning, municipal support, cost of offsite improvements, traffic concerns, grading issues, competiting buyers…you name it, the list could go on. Having a team assembled early in your evaluation process is critical. Baird Holm LLP, Schemmer, and Darland Construction Co. were critical partners in this process. This location ended up being a terrific fit for my client. Sometimes in real estate you just need to sift through all the bad to find the right property! This will be a fun one to watch develop.

Great leadership starts at the top
