Point S UK closes in on 400 members
Point S UK nears 400 members by end-2025, up from 340+ earlier this year, demonstrating rapid network expansion
Growth accelerates toward 2035 goal to become UK's largest independent automotive service network amid competitor exits
Strategic timing capitalises on market consolidation and EV-driven shift as workshops pivot to tyres, diagnostics and specialist maintenance
Point S UK is on track to reach 400 members by the end of 2025, representing significant growth that underscores the network's commitment to becoming the UK's largest independent automotive service provider by 2035.
The milestone demonstrates remarkable progress from the network's 340 points of sale earlier this year, with Managing Director Ali Yilmaz attributing the expansion to strategic capitalisation on market exits and the evolving needs of independent repair centres responding to electrification challenges.
"This growth trajectory validates our belief that there's never been a better time to expand our UK network," commented Yilmaz. "While many franchised networks have contracted, we've bucked the trend by achieving substantial growth in both our member base and services.”
The expansion comes during what Yilmaz describes as a "fertile planting ground" for growth, as competitors exit the market and independent workshops evolve their business models. With electric vehicles requiring less mechanical servicing, many repair centres are focusing on tyres, diagnostics, and tailored vehicle maintenance as future profit centres – services that align perfectly with Point S's offering.
The network has strengthened its infrastructure with key appointments including Andrew Brooks as Logistics Manager, David Flood as Sales Manager South, and Business Development Managers Luke Ashford and Scott Jones.
"Our members are thriving in a challenging marketplace through traditional family values, exceptional customer relationships, and the highest levels of professionalism," added Yilmaz. "The independent sector already represents approximately one-third of the UK market and continues to grow. We're positioned perfectly to support these unsung heroes of the aftermarket through the strength and breadth of our national network, backed by international credentials."
