24th April 2025: GSF Car Parts has cemented its position as the UK’s fastest-growing motor factor, reporting exceptional sales once again for the first quarter of 2025. 

GSF’s turnover rose 19% for the period from 1st January to 31st March compared to the same period last year. The 200-branch national motor factor shows no signs of losing momentum either, with March sales growing even more steeply, by 21.9%.  

These numbers arrive just as Factor Sales noted ‘a challenging start to 2025’ for the overall UK parts aftermarket, with the sector’s year-on-year sales down 3% in 2025, compared to an uplift of 5.5% in 2024 (1).  

GSF 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.  

GSF has fuelled business with a raft of investments totalling in excess of £100 million over the last twelve months. Enhancements have included the opening of its national distribution centre (NDC) in Wolverhampton, alongside 15 new greenfield branch openings and improved stock levels.  

Steve Horne, CEO of GSF Car Parts said: “These results show that the opportunities are there but our customers have options. We want them to choose GSF first because we’re the easiest to trade with and the most focused on delivering exceptional service. 

“Our loyal suppliers and dedicated teams work tirelessly to keep improving as we must never take customers for granted or become complacent. We’re determined to continue our growth and the GSF model won’t change – the customer is at the heart of everything we do.” 

GSF will not be slowing down for the remainder of 2025 citing range extensions and a new tranche of ten branch openings coming on stream from May as key reasons for continued optimism.
