Steve Tranter, a long serving Product Manager with CES UK and The Parts Alliance, hassteve_tranter died after losing his battle with illness.
He built his career in the aftermarket, which stretched across 40 years.

Steve leaves a partner, Colette, and two children. His funeral will take place on Friday, 10 February at St Thomas’ All Saints Church, Ellesmere Port.
