United Aftermarket Network (UAN), the UK buying group, is launching into the CV aftermarket, following the recruitment of eight CV motor factors.

CV factors now part of UAN include: Total Parts Distribution, Aghabridge Ltd, Lea Valley Truck Parts, Trafford Brake & Hose Services Ltd, Advance Truck Components Ltd, S&W Services (Yorkshire) Ltd, LMS Auto Components Ltd and Benella Components Ltd.

UAN managing director, Andrew Dickinson, says: “The CV aftermarket requires a different approach to the car industry and that there are opportunities in the sector for a dedicated CV buying group. UAN exists to bring the supply chain closer together and work with both suppliers and factors to ensure growth and prosperity.”

  • UAN comprises 57 distributors and has more than 40 approved suppliers across a range of product groups for its car and CV motor factors.
