Andrew Page lifts garage equipment offer with Mega Wisebuys brochure and sales team additions
Leading distributor of autoparts and workshop equipment, Andrew Page, has re-launched the industry leading Mega Wisebuys brochure, as well as investing in its garage equipment sales division by adding to the nationwide and regional teams.
The autoparts distributor has teamed up with leading garage equipment manufacturers to develop the instantly recognisable Mega Wisebuys brochure, which features exclusive sales promotions and special offers. Containing information on everything from hand tools through to capital equipment, Mega Wisebuys helps garages to find the best products and deals available.
In another move to support Andrew Page’s garage equipment sales division, the company has added five key members of staff from recently closed Unipart Automotive. The five new Andrew Page recruits include four regional garage equipment specialists, who will form part of a team providing national coverage, and a dedicated marketing manager for garage equipment. Andrew Page is to recruit a further three regional specialists to complete its line-up.
Complementing Andrew Page’s existing workshop equipment division, AP-Tech, the equipment specialists will provide a project management service including site surveys, groundworks and advice on larger installations including class 4 and 7 ATL bays, as well as full workshop re-fits.
“The integration of garage equipment sales with AP-Tech will make Andrew Page the market leader in garage equipment, with a range including capital equipment, diagnostics, air con, hand tools and training.” explained Simon Mullin, Sales & Marketing Director of Andrew Page.
The news follows the recent announcement that Andrew Page was able to spearhead a joint deal with The Parts Alliance to save 33 branches and around 350 related jobs from the former Unipart Automotive when it entered into administration.
The recent opening of a new site in Southampton takes Andrew Page to 114 branches nationwide, which is expected to expand to 120 branches within the next three months.
