Revenue is concentrated in the Vehicle Sales segment, which handles Isuzu, Range Rover, and Jaguar vehicles. The subsidiary, Access Motors, also contributes to Land Rover and Jaguar sales and services [doc:HA-latest]. Growth trajectory is supported by a positive revenue outlook, with the current fiscal year expected to show growth.
