Our continued focus on differentiation, innovation and investment, underpinned by the strength of our brand, service quality, and subscription-based revenue model, yet again demonstrated the relevance of RAC to our members and partners.
We delivered our lowest ever churn, started our market expansion into servicing, maintenance and repair, accelerated our digital progress with MyRAC increasingly becoming the heart of all things driving, and for the first time in our history surpassed 13 million members.
We are well set and well invested for 2023 and beyond as we continue our journey towards becoming the UK’s number one for Driving Services”.
