Autoparts UK crowned IAAF distributor of excellence 2014

Autoparts UK has won the IAAF distributor of excellence award at the IAAF 2014 Annual Conference & Awards Dinner.

The leading parts distributor, which has 12 branches throughout the UK, saw off stiff competition from rival distributors throughout the UK.

The hotly contested IAAF awards cover four individual categories. They are: Distributor of Excellence Award (passenger car), Supplier of Excellence Award (passenger car), Commercial Vehicle Distributor of the Year and Commercial Vehicle Supplier of the Year Award.

For the IAAF Excellence Awards, nominees have to provide entries to IAAF, which are then assessed by a panel of expert judges, selected by the IAAF for their experience in the independent aftermarket.

To ensure total fairness, all entries submitted are made anonymous before judging, and the finalists’ identities are only revealed to the judges for ratification or further investigation, which can include site visits and mystery shopping.

Craig McCracken, Autoparts UK Group Factor Manager, said: “This is an unbelievable achievement for Autoparts UK and demonstrates how far we have come as a business. We continue to innovate the market, launching new products and services designed to support a garage business and so it’s extremely gratifying to have the efforts and achievements of everyone in the business acknowledged in this way.”
