Record turnover and profit growth in FY 2026

Autoguard Group announced a 36% increase in turnover, reaching £27 million for the year to March 2026. The rise was driven by a £7.1 million uplift in total revenue and an improvement in profit before tax from £1 million in 2025 to £1.7 million. EBITDA also climbed, moving from £1.2 million to £1.9 million.

UK market performance despite a tough used‑car environment

Domestic revenue grew 27.6% year‑on‑year, reflecting a solid performance in the UK despite what Autoguard described as a challenging used‑car market. The company’s non‑regulated dealer business expanded by 17%, underlining the resilience of its core services to UK dealers.

International revenue more than doubles

The most significant surge came from overseas operations, where revenue increased by 127%. Autoguard broadened its network of manufacturers, importers and large independent automotive businesses, reinforcing its position in the global warranty and value‑added product sector.

During 2026 the group opened a new office in Kuala Lumpur to serve Asia‑Pacific customers, adding to its existing presence in Dubai. These strategic moves have helped the company capture demand from markets that are increasingly seeking extended warranty and maintenance solutions.

Direct‑to‑consumer segment explodes

Autoguard’s Best4 division, which sells warranty, servicing and maintenance plans directly to motorists, recorded growth of more than 200%. The company attributes this expansion to vehicle owners holding onto their cars for longer periods, prompting a higher uptake of protection products.

Leadership perspective on growth

Ali May‑Khalil, Group Chief Commercial Officer and Director of International Operations, highlighted the importance of execution, stating that “to increase revenues, you have to sell more” and that a people‑centred culture has been key to the results.

Founder and CEO Robert Dockerill, whose results were published at Companies House, echoed these sentiments, noting that the UK business remained strong, the direct‑to‑consumer offering more than tripled, and international operations continued to gain momentum.

Technology and workforce investment

Employee numbers rose by 22% over the year as Autoguard invested in staff development and new technology. A newly launched mobile app now lets customers manage their warranty and service plans in a single location.

The group also implemented artificial‑intelligence tools that have reduced approval times to under 60 seconds and enabled same‑day payments, enhancing the overall customer experience.

Future outlook

Dockerill concluded that the company’s balance sheet is stronger than ever, with “A”‑rated insurers and business partners across all markets. He affirmed that Autoguard is well‑positioned for continued profitable growth as consumers continue to keep vehicles for longer and seek comprehensive protection solutions.
