As well as being part of the company’s expansion in London, with several sites set to open around the capital in the next few months, the move also brings GSF Executive Chairman Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia home to his old ECP stomping ground. GSF Car Parts CEO Steve Horne said: “This is a really important launch for us as it is part of our strategy for London. We know there are scores of customers in the Wembley area that we can provide an excellent service to, so the new branch team are looking forward to building the kind of relationships that will enable GSF to supercharge their business and ours.“ Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia added: “Being at our Wembley branch when it opened reminded me of my early days in the trade many years ago and it’s great to see our team have the same hunger to win as I did back then. “I know exactly what it takes to succeed in the London market, so we’re doing everything in our power to get our new and existing branches all the resources they need to get customers across the city the parts they need.” GSF is aiming for a network of 200 branches across the UK by 2025.
