GSF Car Parts, the UK’s leading car parts distributor, has announced the opening of two new branches in Chessington and Stockport, bringing the total number of new branches to five within the last two months. These additions increase the total number of GSF branches to over 190 nationwide and will create new job opportunities in both Greater London and Greater Manchester.

The Chessington branch spans 6,422 sq ft and supports the network with four new vans and three bikes. There are plans to expand this fleet as the customer base grows. Currently, the new branch employs 16 full-time staff members.

Simon Gwyn-Griffiths, Chessington Branch Manager at GSF Car Parts, said, “Bringing our new Chessington branch to the area allows us to better serve local garages by providing faster access to essential parts and improving overall service quality. We look forward to building strong relationships with our customers in the Chessington community.”

The Stockport Regional Distribution Centre (RDC) covers over 14,061 sq ft and is equipped with 10 vans. Located just eight miles from Manchester, this new branch enhances GSF’s coverage and employs 21 full-time staff members. It aims to improve delivery speeds throughout the city, serving local garages, national accounts, and click-and-collect customers.

Dean Fraser, Stockport Regional Distribution Centre (RDC) Manager at GSF Car Parts, said, “The opening of this facility will significantly boost our logistics capabilities, ensuring faster and more efficient distribution of parts to our branches and customers. Our aim is to streamline our supply chain and enhance the overall service experience for the Stockport area and beyond.”

The car parts distributor now employs 3,000 team members nationwide. These two branch openings follow the announcement of a new 500,000 sq ft National Distribution Centre in Wolverhampton earlier this May, along with recent branch openings in Birmingham, Crawley, Crayford, Openshaw and Southgate over the past two months.

Steve Horne, CEO of GSF Car Parts commented on the expansion: “We are excited to introduce our newest branches in Chessington and Stockport to the GSF network.

“Opening these branches highlights our dedication to making car parts easily accessible for our customers across the country. These new branch locations are pivotal for our expansion, and we look forward to offering our top-notch service and extensive product selection to these areas.”
