GSF Car Parts has opened another new branch in Chessington and a regional distribution centre in Stockport.
These increase the total number of sites to more than 190 nationwide, and to five within the last two months following the openings of Crawley, Southgate and Birmingham East.
The Chessington branch spans 6422 sq ft and supports the network with four new vans and three bikes. GSF says there are plans to expand this fleet as the customer base grows. Currently, the new branch employs 16 full-time staff members.
Simon Gwyn-Griffiths, Chessington branch manager, said, “Bringing our new Chessington branch to the area allows us to better serve local garages by providing faster access to essential parts and improving overall service quality. We look forward to building strong relationships with our customers in the Chessington community.”
The 14,061 sq ft Stockport regional distribution centre (RDC) and is equipped with 10 vans. Located just eight miles from Manchester, this new location employs 21 full-time staff members. It aims to improve delivery speeds throughout the city, serving local garages, national accounts, and click-and-collect customers.
Dean Fraser, Stockport RDC manager, said, “The opening of this facility will significantly boost our logistics capabilities, ensuring faster and more efficient distribution of parts to our branches and customers. Our aim is to streamline our supply chain and enhance the overall service experience for the Stockport area and beyond.”
The new RDC joins the 500,000 sq ft National Distribution Centre in Wolverhampton, which opened earlier this May.
Steve Horne, GSF CEO, said: “We are excited to introduce our newest branches in Chessington and Stockport to the GSF network.
“Opening these branches highlights our dedication to making car parts easily accessible for our customers across the country. These new branch locations are pivotal for our expansion, and we look forward to offering our top-notch service and extensive product selection to these areas.”
