Investment rationale
In the UK, sales of battery electric vehicles almost tripled in 2020, according to data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, with plug-in cars now accounting for more than 10 per cent of UK sales. Andersen grew revenues by over three and a half times in the year to February 2020 and is well positioned to benefit from a ‘green’ recovery post-COVID-19. Andersen will invest in operations, sales and customer support, and increase production.
