A new 100,000sq ft national distribution facility for parts distributor Andrew Page will be fully operational within the next few weeks supplying the company’s core 65 national branch network.

The distribution centre, at Markham Vale Business Centre in Derbyshire, will also progressively service the newly acquired 30 Camberley Auto Factors branch network in the south of the UK.

A fleet of 26 ton Mercedes-Benz delivery trucks will operate out of the Markham Vale site delivering, on a daily basis, to the company’s branch network.

"This is a very exciting time for Andrew Page,” said managing director Mark Roberts.

"Establishing a major national distribution facility is an integral part of our growth strategy. As we grow our branch network it is vital to ensure that the flow of replacement parts and components is enhanced providing the service to customers that enables them to improve their profitability."
