News 10 www.aftermarketonline.net SEPTEMBER 2025 GSF Car Parts has honoured one of its top branch managers with the opportunity to enjoy a Ferrari 296 GTS supercar for a weekend. The prize formed part of an internal competition which challenged all GSF branch managers to deliver the highest sales growth during the first half of the year. The Ferrari, belonging to GSF executive chairman Sukhpal Ahluwalia, was presented to Nick Fogg from GSF Heathrow as the branch manager who delivered the highest sales. The team at GSF Heathrow more than doubled sales year-on-year between January and June. Aftermarket magazine joined members of the GSF senior leadership team to witness the unveiling of the car. Nick Fogg, Heathrow branch manager, said: “It feels amazing for me and the branch to be recognised for our performance this year. It hasn’t come easy, and I am immensely proud of my team for overcoming many hurdles to achieve the highest rate of growth in the business. It’s an incredible achievement. “The commitment I see each day is inspiring. We have a brilliant mix of individuals who all bring energy, dedication and passion to deliver the best in class for our customers.” GSF’s CEO Steve Horne said: “I’m very grateful to Sukhpal for offering such an incredible prize as we celebrate one of our most valued colleagues and teams. “Our Heathrow branch has set the standard for customer service and entrepreneurship. As we’ve seen, the first half of 2025 hasn’t been the easiest period for many motor factors, but GSF Heathrow is living proof that our customer-first approach is absolutely the way to do business. Congratulations to Nick and the team.” The presentation came as GSF announced it had continued its strong performance in the first half of 2025, with sales climbing over 20% year-onyear. That followed 21% growth in 2024, continuing an extended run of sectorleading performance. GSF said the figures defied market trends, which has seen sources reporting UK aftermarket revenues shrunk by 5.8% in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Since the beginning of 2024, GSF has invested more than £100 million into the opening of its national distribution centre in Wolverhampton, improved stock levels, new IT systems, vans and computers as well as adding 22 new branches, seven of which were opened this year. This takes the branch network to 201 locations, with at least another five planned before the end of 2025. Nick Fogg with Sukhpal Ahluwalia Supercar bonus for top performance
