Motorpoint has achieved its highest ever ranking in the Sunday Times Grant Thornton Top Track 250 listing.

The survey ranks the UK’s leading privately-owned, mid-market, companies based on their sales performance.

Motorpoint, which turned over £463m in the last financial year, moved up 22 places to score 36th; it’s highest-ever ranking since being included in the Top Track 250 in 2005.

Managing director of Motorpoint, Mark Carpenter, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be listed once again in the Sunday Times Grant Thornton Top Track 250.

“Our inclusion is testimony to the on-going efforts of every member of our team to ensure we continue to remain the country’s leading car supermarket, creating a car buying experience, based on value, choice and service, that we believe is second to none.”

Motorpoint recently announced it is opening its eighth site in Widnes later this year, creating 50 new jobs in the process.

It has also opened the doors to its second online sales centre in Birmingham, to help meet unprecedented demand from customers looking to buy their next car via the internet.
