Autosupplies flies flag for Chesterfield in industry awards
Autosupplies (Chesterfield) Ltd, has been shortlisted into the final of the Motor Trader Awards 2016 in the category of Motor Factor of the Year, with the winner being announced at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London on 13 July.
The recognition celebrates Autosupplies’ continued business growth since it began in 1989 and its commitment to providing customers with a complete package encompassing reliable service and high quality products.
The black tie event celebrates top achievers and innovative thinkers within the automotive sector and Autosupplies will be one of the 1100 industry leaders welcomed to the prestigious networking and award ceremony.
Now employing over 80 members of staff and managing a fleet of more than 40 delivery vehicles, the motor factor is one of the most prominent businesses in the Chesterfield area.
Autosupplies managing director, David Clarke, said: “This acknowledgement is a great achievement for us and I give full credit to the entire team who work extremely hard throughout the year to consistently offer first-class service.
“Looking ahead, we will explore new opportunities to ensure customer requirements are always met, allowing us to continue to thrive as a business.”
Autosupplies has heavily invested in the local community and sponsored the Scarcliffe Soapbox Derby, which took place on 25 June by providing a team’s uniform, materials for their vehicle and taking on running costs, as well as sponsoring the official newsletter programme.
With the motor factor also maintaining close ties with a number of local schools by regularly supplying prizes for fundraisers, along with releasing members of staff to contribute towards ‘Industry Days’, teaching interview skills and providing essential business advice, Autosupplies is very much invested in developing young members of the community.
The company has also announced it will again be supporting Tuffnells, who is driving in a Mad Max themed car to raise money for Bluebell Wood children’s hospice, in the Fireball Rally across Europe. Autosupplies has played a key role in donating all the paint materials required to redesign the replica car.
Within the company, all members of staff have their own training plans, with a small nucleus of all young team members receiving an NVQ qualification, providing them with the appropriate skills to develop their career.
