The Parts Alliance has strengthened its position as an aftermarket leader in the U.K. with SAS Autoparts joining the group. SAS was founded in 1960 and has branches in Harrogate, Otley, Skipton, Bradford, Castleford and Northallerton, England.
The Parts Alliance’s Chief Executive Peter Sephton said he was excited to be welcoming SAS to the HgCapital-backed The Parts Alliance Group. “SAS Autoparts is a great business with outstanding customer and staff loyalty providing local service in the Yorkshire area and adds to our national strength,” he said.
HgCapital continues to support The Parts Alliance with the acquisition of SAS, which will be a wholly owned business within The Parts Alliance Group. It will continue to trade locally under its own brand name and continue under David Brooks, managing director, and his current management team. Brooks noted, “We are looking forward to working with Peter Sephton and the rest of the management team and developing and growing SAS into an even better business.”
Sephton added, “This is a great acquisition which strengthens our presence in the north while encouraging a common vision and culture, but retaining local brands, entrepreneurial spirit and customer focus.”
