Caffyns PLC on Friday said half-year profit all but disappeared, as costs outpaced revenue growth, and it gave a mixed outlook.
The Eastbourne, Sussex-based car dealership chain said pretax profit.

Caffyns, the AM car dealer group based in East Sussex, has blamed a 30% decline in profits on to inflation and higher business rates in its latest financial year.
Caffyns has cited stock shortages, economic uncertainty and energy concerns in a “cautious” trading outlook after a half-year trading statement revealed its profits had declined by a third.
