About company
Pinewood Technologies PLC, headquartered in Annesley, Nottingham, and listed on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker PINE, specializes in providing software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions tailored for the automotive dealership sector. Originating from the vehicle division of Williams Holdings, which was demerged as Pendragon PLC in November 1989, Pinewood has evolved significantly since its inception. Under the leadership of Sir Nigel Rudd until April 2010, the company expanded its operations to include volume car franchises, including notable brands such as Ford and Vauxhall, in 1990. This expansion set the stage for a series of strategic acquisitions aimed at bolstering its market presence, including the acquisition of the Stratstone brand in 1992, which linked Pendragon with luxury automotive brands Jaguar and Land Rover. Further expanding its footprint, Pinewood acquired 17 volume car dealerships from Lex Service PLC in August 1997, marking a significant growth phase for the company. Today, Pinewood Technologies stands as a key player in the automotive retail sector, offering a range of SaaS products designed to enhance the operational efficiency of car dealerships.
