Factor’s supercar bonus for top performance
11 August 2025 
GSF Car Parts has honoured one of its top branch managers with the opportunity to enjoy a Ferrari 296 GTS supercar for a weekend.
The prize formed part of an internal competition which challenged all GSF branch managers to deliver the highest sales growth during the first half of the year.
The Ferrari, belonging to GSF executive chairman Sukhpal Ahluwalia, was presented to Nick Fogg (pictured) from GSF Heathrow as the branch manager who delivered the highest sales.
The team at GSF Heathrow more than doubled sales year-on-year between January and June.
Nick Fogg, Heathrow branch manager, said: “It feels amazing for me and the branch to be recognised for our performance this year. It hasn’t come easy, and I am immensely proud of my team for overcoming many hurdles to achieve the highest rate of growth in the business. It’s an incredible achievement.
“The commitment I see each day is inspiring. We have a brilliant mix of individuals who all bring energy, dedication and passion to deliver the best in class for our customers.”
Sales increase
GSF’s CEO Steve Horne said: “Our Heathrow branch has set the standard for customer service and entrepreneurship.”
The presentation came as GSF announced it had continued its strong performance in the first half of 2025, with sales climbing over 20% year-on-year.
That followed 21% growth in 2024, continuing an extended run of sector-leading performance.
GSF said the figures defied market trends, which has seen sources reporting UK aftermarket revenues shrunk by 5.8% in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
Satellite branch
Meanwhile, the company announced on August 11 that it had opened its first satellite branch in Morpeth, to boost coverage in the northeast.
The new branch will be the first to operate as a satellite site paired with the successful branch in Newcastle. it is the eighth new branch GSF has opened this year, with at least four more currently in development.
Ten full-time staff will work from the 4,731 ft2 unit in Morpeth, which will feature a shopfront, office and stock storage.
Initially, six vans will operate from the site, and support independent garages in areas such as Blyth and Woodhorn, while online customers can enjoy the convenience of click and collect.
