Vertu Motors – warns with used car values recent months “record levels of monthly decline”… so why no update on trading until now since 4th October?

Automotive retailer with a network of 195 sales and aftersales outlets across the UK, Vertu Motors (VTU) has issued a “trading update” including its three months ended 30th November “like-for-like used vehicle volumes fell 2.0%… an improvement on the 5.7% reduction in the first half” and it having been “delivering higher overall core gross profit generation from the sale of new vehicles year-on-year”.
