Dealer group Fish Brothers has reported a small dip in profits for last year, despite a rise in new and used vehicle sales. The result is just over 4% down on the previous year’s £2.84m, even though the retailer sold more cars throughout the year. Meanwhile, used vehicle sales rose from 2,854 to 3,192. Elsewhere, Fish Brothers also ended the year carrying substantially more vehicle stock, the total value of which rose from £43.74m to £58.26m, with vehicles held on consignment increasing from £26.7m to almost £38m. The company said used vehicle stock had risen in line with anticipated future sales, while consignment stock had increased in line with manufacturer supply.
