Kwik-Fit's expansion sped by brakes

Article Abstract:

Kwik-Fit accounts for some 33% of the UK market for replacement exhausts and 25% of the replacement tire market. There are 570 outlets in the UK chain and a further 200 could be added. The company has expanded through acquiring regional chains and has moved into car fleets. The company is also expanding in brake fitting. Kwik-Fit suffers from high overheads and is moving into automobile insurance which could attract more customers . The company's pre-tax profit is forecast at between 45 million pounds sterling and 46 million pounds for 1997 to 1998.
