Record months for Garage Buying Group

Garage Buying Group (GBG) saw record sales months in both October and November 2022.

October revenues were 31% higher than in their previous best month in May 2022, while November was 55% higher still. Commenting on what is driving growth for the direct-from-supplier digital platform that launched in April 2021, GBG MD Lee Corfield said: “We’ve been adding more suppliers and more products in the last few months. It’s taken some time to become recognised but we’re now seeing encouraging levels of repeat business too. Our exclusive Autonoe consumable ranges are performing particularly strongly. They cover multi-fleet engine oils, antifreezes and TFR with AdBlue starting to sell for us too.”

Lee added: “Not every month is going to set records but a lot of work has gone in to develop the web platform, to help garages find us online and to understand the concept so it’s pleasing to see more traction.”
