www.aftermarketonline.net SEPTEMBER 2025 On the road 53 request from an individual child. Kozlowski has also coordinated the delivery of over 3,500 Easter eggs, sponsored five summer camps for orphans, and even funded life-changing eye surgery for a 14-year-old boy named Ignat. The humanitarian champion has been honoured with a Volunteer Award at the 2023 BBC CWR Make a Difference Awards. He was also named a Warwickshire Changemaker 2025 and granted the honorary title of Free Man of the Warwick District. Originally from Poland, Kozlowski has lived in the UK for a number of years and plays an active role in the Polish community in Leamington Spa. Through his long-standing relationship with the Sisters of the Congregation of St Joseph in Ukraine, he has ensured that aid reaches the communities and front-line responders who need it most. He said: “We have always focused on the most practical and immediate needs — medical supplies, vehicles, and support for children. Seeing this latest convoy of ambulances reach the border safely with the help of Rachel Taylor is a proud moment for all of us, especially those who donated, volunteered, and supported behind the scenes. “The suffering of those in Ukraine continues to be a big issue at the heart of my community, and the support we’ve had from the company to help those in need has made an incredible difference.” Kozlowski’s efforts were previously recognised last October, when Eduard Fesko, deputy chief of mission at Ukraine’s embassy in the UK, thanked him and everyone involved during a visit to LKQ’s Tamworth headquarters with Rachel Taylor and another local MP, Sarah Edwards. The business is part of the LKQ Corporation, a Fortune 500 company which is the world’s largest auto parts provider. LKQ UK & Ireland employs more than 9,000 people and has a network of 270+ branches. It’s a leading distributor of parts and accessories for all makes of car via LKQ Euro Car Parts, with other LKQ UK businesses LKQ Bodyshop, LKQ Leisure and Marine and Digraph together supplying parts for motorbikes, light commercial vehicles, HGV, bus and coach, and static and touring caravans, motorhomes and marine vehicles. LKQ’s wider community work spans both global relief and local impact. The company supports education and employment initiatives across Tamworth and North Warwickshire, including internship programmes and school outreach through its Future Talent Ambassadors. It also champions diversity through its participation in the Automotive 30% Club and is working towards reducing environmental impact by transitioning its delivery fleet to low-carbon HVO fuel. In terms of support for the wider UK independent garage sector, LKQ Euro Car Parts is again backing Aftermarket magazine’s Top Awards as a Full Event Partner for 2025. And with the latest convoy delivered, LKQ has reaffirmed its long-term commitment further afield too — supporting Ukrainian relief efforts, with plans for further humanitarian missions under discussion.
