Andrew Page “Preferred Supplier” to Bosch Car Service network

Leading autoparts and workshop equipment distributor, Andrew Page, has been named by Bosch as a preferred supplier of parts to its national network of Bosch Car Service (BCS) garages.

In a move that will ultimately improve the availability of Bosch parts to the BCS network of approximately 500 independent garages, members can now receive added benefits when purchasing Bosch parts through Andrew Page. Due to the motor factor’s substantial distribution capabilities and its experience in dealing with Bosch products, Andrew Page proudly boasts over 60 years of experience working with the company, and has historically supported the BCS network with equipment sales and product training too.

The move to appoint Andrew Page formally as a Preferred Supplier comes following a period of significant investment to develop stock range and availability across the entire Bosch parts portfolio by the motor factor. Ongoing investment in its Markham Vale distribution facility has already increased Andrew Page’s storage capacity by nearly 40 per cent, along with other recent investments in a new integrated digital telephone system and upgrading of the van fleet with the addition of over 500 new vans.

Simon Mullin, sales & marketing director at Andrew Page said: “At Andrew Page we are proud of our rich heritage, which has included an association with the Bosch brand since 1947. To be formally named as a Preferred Supplier to the Bosch Car Service network is recognition of both this historic relationship and our enhanced capabilities, we can now supply more Bosch parts than ever before.”

With a national network of 109 branches, served by an extensive fleet of vehicles replenishing stock twice daily, Andrew Page is able to provide BCS member garages with excellent levels of Bosch parts availability no matter where they are based.
