Euro Car Parts announces another ambitious expansion programme
Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia, founder & MD of Euro Car Parts has outlined the next phase of its UK expansion and how he’ll create over 1,500 new full time jobs over the next year.
New stores will open in Barnsley, Broadstairs, north Cardiff, Harrogate and Newbury ‘in the very near future’, a further 10 branches will open during Q3 and Q4, bringing the total additional openings for 2013 to 15, and more in 2014. Locations and opening dates will be announced in due course.
As well as providing unbeatable service to local garages and consumers, this exciting expansion is hand-in-hand with a major recruitment drive. The company is seeking branch managers, operations managers, sales managers, sales advisors, warehouse staff and drivers.
Far from demanding motor industry experience, Euro Car Parts encourages applications from people working in other industries. This open-minded approach helps keep the company at the cutting edge.
People director, Martin Gray, who joined from Phones4U, said: “For many companies such an expansion would constitute a five-year plan; at Euro Car Parts our philosophy is ‘faster, smarter, bigger and better …….Together.’
Singh told GMOT: “We make around 48,000 deliveries to UK garages every working day (that’s one every 1.35 seconds) while our expansion into Europe through Sator is exciting, we’ll continue to be judged primarily on our performance here in the UK. We’ve increased our network from 90 branches in 2011 to 132 today by being dynamic and maximising everything we take on. This is just one more piece in the puzzle.
“What sets us apart is our successful fusion of strong financial and operational control with entrepreneurial flair. Many new employees refer to the freedom they enjoy at Euro Car Parts. The attitude has to be ‘get on and do it’ at every level. In return we recognise, reward and empower talented individuals.”
The company announced at their annual conference in February that the Manager of the Year will win a brand new Porsche Boxster for their contribution to the business during 2013.
