28th May 2025: GSF Car Parts, the UK’s fastest-growing motor factor, has unveiled the second of eleven new branches set to open in 2025.  

The branch is located on the St Austell Bay Business Park. It will act as a Regional Distribution Centre (RDC) boosting availability to independent garages in Cornwall, supporting existing GSF branches in Camborne, Penryn and Newquay. 

GSF continues to invest heavily, having opened fifteen new branches in 2024 as well as a 500,000 square foot National Distribution Centre in Wolverhampton. This next phase will see it introduce seven new branches and four smaller satellite sites to the network by the end of 2025. 

The branch is a 5,300 square foot unit on the St Austell Bay Business Park which features a shopfront, office and stock storage.  

The new branch has created 17 jobs, including warehouse, sales staff and drivers. Initially, eight brand-new vans will operate from the site. 

Steve Horne, CEO, GSF Car Parts, commented: “We’re excited to continue the roll out of our 2025 branches as we accelerate our growth off the back of a record-beating 2024. We’ll have seven new branches, and four satellite branches, opening in the coming weeks so we can continue to enhance our customer service levels.” 

Jim Medlin, Branch Manager, GSF St Austell, added: “We’re setting up here in St Austell to bring a customer-first service to garages and motorists in the area. Every GSF branch operates to provide fast service, expert advice and a huge catalogue of parts to the local community.”
