I am accountable

Delivering great performance is a critical and valued strength for Inchcape. As we grow and change we must maintain our focus on delivery and continue to hold ourselves and others accountable for what we deliver and the business outcomes we generate.

For every one of us this means making the decisions that are ours to make; being willing to follow decisions made by others; always delivering – 'no surprises', no excuses and never failing below our high standards - relentlessly focused on the quality and value of outcomes we deliver.

I win customer trust and loyalty

Our aspiration is to build lifelong relationships with our customers so that they become advocates for Inchcape and return to us time after time – and for all their automotive needs.

To do this, we must go beyond 'making the sale' and delivering faultless service; building trust by delivering a compelling customer experience…delighting customers whenever and however they come into contact with us.

The behaviours described here apply to every employee – whether customers are internal colleagues, our OEM partners and/or our customers who visit us in person and online.

I look ahead

In a fast moving world, we must continuously look for new ways to stay ahead of our competitors. Innovating to unlock new business opportunities and continuously improving our business is vital to our continued success. We need to imaginative and think beyond the norm.

Our willingness to embrace change, to learn from our successes and our mistakes is important to our own personal development as well as for the future success of Inchcape.

I collaborate

We have declared our ambition to be the partner of choice for OEMs. This means nurturing strong, mutually beneficial relationships at all levels. A partner of choice works collaboratively to add value – beyond just delivering commercial results.

Becoming brilliant collaborators starts on the inside. Working collaboratively with colleagues (across organisational and geographic boundaries) to pool our ideas, solve common problems and share knowledge will make us a stronger and more successful business.

I lead the way for others

In great organisations leadership can be seen at all levels. Every one of us can be a role model for others by having courage to do the right thing, behaving in the right way and staying true to our values.

Continuing to build the talent that we need for the future means being led by leaders who share and celebrate success, genuinely care about development and who support and help people to fulfil their potential.

Ensuring that we are all pulling together, and pulling the right direction starts with leaders translating our strategy into meaningful actions, priorities and plans.
