All three of the UK’s largest motor factors opened new locations in October.
Andrew Page was first out of the trap, opening it’s 60th new branch in Milton Keynes. Traditionaly considered a factor for northern cities, Milton Keynes represents the firm’s southernmost branch.
Mark Roberts, Managing Director, said: “Our plans to extend our offerings from north to south are fast being achieved”.
Meanwhile, CES has extended its branch network, with the opening of the company’s newest branch in Widnes. At 12,000 sq ft, the branch has the capacity to serve garages right across Widnes, St. Helens, Speke, Warrington and beyond. The decision to open its latest branch follows years of trading in the area.
MD Steve McCann said: ““It’s the CES way for our branches to have plenty of stock on-site, ready for delivery. We’ll be following the same successful model again. It means customers in the area can expect to receive the parts they need quickly,”
Finally, much further south ECP announced a branch opening in Taunton. The new outlet is the firm’s 90th and will carry all of the usual stock through its 8-6 opening hours.
