Chessington, Stockport join GSF’s branches lineup

GSF Car Parts is continuing its network expansion with the opening of an additional two branches — in Chessington and Stockport.

Doors opened at the branch in Chessington and regional distribution centre in Stockport yesterday, taking the total number of new branches to five within the last two months

The Chessington branch spans 6,422 sq ft and supports the network with four new vans and three bikes. GSF said there are plans to expand this fleet as the customer base grows.

Simon Gwyn-Griffiths, Chessington branch manager, said the launch will help give garages in the area faster access to essential parts and improve overall service quality.

The 14,061 sq ft Stockport site, eight miles from Manchester, is equipped with 10 vans. GSF said the centre aims to improve delivery speeds throughout the city, serving local garages, national accounts, and click-and-collect customers.

Stockport manager Dean Fraser said the opening will significantly boost logistics capabilities.

The car parts distributor now employs 3,000 team members nationwide.

The latest openings follow the announcement of plans for a national distribution centre in Wolverhampton, which GSF told Aftermarket is expected to come on stream in the fourth quarter of this year.

Steve Horne, CEO of GSF, said: “These new branch locations are pivotal for our expansion.”
