The Parts Alliance aquires CPA

26 September 2014  

The Parts Alliance has acquired its associate member Car Parts & Accessories, bringing it in as part of the company’s Eastern Alliance.

The acquisition is the Parts Alliance’s eighth, and see’s Car Parts & Accessories’ 12 branches and 120 employees transfer to the new ownership, boosting the number of branches in the Eastern Alliance to 33. Managing Director Keith Anderson and other CPA leaders continue with the autoparts distributor.

James Geldart, newly appointed MD of the Eastern Alliance, comments: “I am delighted to have CPA as part of our business portfolio and I welcome all their employees to our family.”

The acquisitions are completed by the takeover of Bromsgrove Motor Factors, in June, and 15 branches from the former Unipart Automotive.

Peter Sephton, Chief Executive of The Parts Alliance, adds: “CPA is a great business with an exceptional commitment to customer service.

“We have been working closely with Keith Anderson and his team to bring them into our family of businesses. At The Parts Alliance we invest in our people and it is clear from the dedication and camaraderie of the team at CPA that they will fit straight in.

“Joint owner Nick Best has chosen this moment to retire and we wish him well and thank him for his great contribution.”
