Autosupplies Chesterfield acquired by Alliance Automotive Group

Autosupplies Chesterfield, one of the UK’s largest single site motor factors, has been acquired by Alliance Automotive Group UK & Ireland.

The business, founded by David Clarke in 1990 in Bolsover, Chesterfield, started as a paint and refinishing distributor, before developing into a full car parts motor factor, operating out of a 20,000sqft facility, employing over 100 people and running a fleet of 60 vans.

Managing Director, David Clarke, said: “Autosupplies Chesterfield has been an industry success story, and I would like to thank all staff, customers and suppliers that have contributed to its growth over the past 35 years. 

“From our humble beginnings, we have evolved to become a leader in motor factoring, introducing new standards for customer service, product availability and logistics.  I wish everyone connected with the business all the success under its new owners.”

In addition to pursuing other business interests and spending time with his family, David will use his 45 years’ experience in the aftermarket to support the continued growth of motor factors Butlers Automotive of Barnsley and Leisureways of Rotherham, run by Ben and Tom Clarke respectively.
