GSF posts first quarter sales boost

24 April 2025  

GSF Car Parts has reported a 19% increase in turnover for the first quarter of this year, despite a challenging start to 2025 according to latest UK automotive aftermarket data.

The company said its 194-branch network shows no signs of losing momentum, with March sales alone growing by 22%. 

The boost came as automotive trade association, the IAAF, reported Factor Sales figures revealing a 3.1% year-on-year drop in unit sales for the overall UK auto market and a 3% decline in value for the first nine weeks of the year.

GSF said it has been finding ways to grow market share for several years, having already reported sales increases of over 20% in both 2024 and 2023, making a three-year run of record-breaking growth. 

The company has announced a raft of investments totalling more than £100 million over the last 12 months, including the opening of its National Distribution Centre near Wolverhampton.

A new tranche of 10 branch openings are planned from next month.

CEO Steve Horne said: “These results show that the opportunities are there, but our customers have options.

“Our loyal suppliers and dedicated teams work tirelessly to keep improving as we must never take customers for granted or become complacent.”
