Quality parts supplier First Line hit the headlines this week as the highest placed automotive parts distributor in the fourth Sunday Times HSBC International Track 200 league table of the UK’s top 200 fastest growing exporters.

The league table, which ranks privately-owned British companies with the fastest-growing overseas sales is produced by Fast Track, a firm that researches Britain’s top-performing private companies and organises business networking events.

Classified as the 126th fastest growing privately owned businesses is a remarkable achievement for the Banbury-based distributor and is testament to the company’s vision and commitment to the export cause and its belief in the strength of its brands.

Commenting on the results managing director Dan Joyner said: “In a crowded UK market, export growth was fundamental to our on-going business development and with the addition of the Borg & Beck brand, which we secured in 2006, we were convinced we had the products, the quality and the brands to succeed overseas.

“It has not happened overnight, but we’ve spent the time and made the investment to ensure that we have the right team and the necessary support infrastructure to successfully introduce our brands into new markets. To appear anywhere near the top 200, let alone be 126th is a tremendous result and will encourage us and the export team to work all the harder to keep the momentum going.”
