 Notes to Editors
 Vertu Motors is the fourth largest automotive retailer in the UK with a

 Vertu Motors was established in November 2006 with the strategy to consolidate
 the UK motor retail sector.  It is intended that the Group will continue to
 acquire motor retail operations to grow a scaled dealership group.  The
 Group's acquisition strategy is supplemented by a focused organic growth
 strategy to drive operational efficiencies through its national dealership
 network. The Group currently operates 186 franchised sales outlets and 4
 non-franchised sales operations from 141 locations across the UK.

 Vertu's Mission Statement is to "deliver an outstanding customer motoring
 experience through honesty and trust".
