Arnold Clark Autoparts team marks 30 years in business

3 December 2024  

Arnold Clark Autoparts’ aftermarket buying team today reflected on the growth of the business as they celebrated 30 years of success for the national motor factor.

The team has been pivotal to the growth of the company since its humble beginnings in Glasgow three decades ago.

Back then, Craig McCracken was responsible for buying aftermarket parts for use in Arnold Clark workshops. Today, he leads a team of 10, as group factor manager, with a combined 238 years of parts experience between them all. 

From daily meetings with suppliers to quality testing and daily purchasing, the team works hard to offer a wide range of parts and  keep prices as low as possible, without ever sacrificing quality.

Although based in Glasgow, the team can regularly be found on the road in Arnold Clark Autoparts branches and visiting customers.

McCracken said: “We go through rigorous processes to bring on new parts, and it’s important we get it right. Disappointing customers with poor parts isn’t an option for us, and we’re that confident in our aftermarket products that they are used in Arnold Clark workshops throughout the country.”
