GSF Car Parts has reached a significant milestone with the opening of its 200th branch in Bedford. Located on Caxton Road, this is the sixth new branch to open in 2025, following intense growth that began in May with a 10,000 square-foot site in Stourbridge, West Midlands.
This was quickly followed by openings in St Austell, Bolton, Leicester, and Chesterfield within a six-week period. GSF plans to add six more sites by the end of the year.
The new Bedford branch, occupying a 6,842 square-foot unit, aims to provide enhanced support for independent garages in the area. It also features a retail section and a click-and-collect point for motorists. The site has created 13 new jobs, including sales staff, warehouse operatives, and drivers, and will operate with four vans and two motorcycles.
Trade customers at the new branch can take advantage of limited-time offers on products such as filtration and DriveTec brake pads, valid until 31 August 2025. GSF will also host its third TechFest event of the year on 18 September at Wembley Stadium, inviting trade customers to attend for exhibitions and TechTalks.
Rebecca Fensome, Bedford Branch Manager, expressed her pride in leading the team and their commitment to building relationships with local customers. Steve Horne, CEO of GSF Car Parts, highlighted the achievement of reaching 200 branches, positioning GSF among the largest parts distributors in the country. He noted the company’s 20% year-on-year sales growth, attributing it to a customer-first approach.
