United Aftermarket Network (UAN) has recorded its best ever April sales figure since it was set up a decade ago.

In addition, the company continues to add new members to its ranks with six companies joining the automotive buying group in the past few weeks.

The six new distributor members Autozone Car Parts, Cotswold Motaquip, Premier Motor Factors, Hoyland Motor Spares, Relay Vehicle Components and Woodstock Motorparts pushes UAN membership above the 130 mark. Steve Doyle from Premier Motor Factors is typical of the retailers starting to enjoy the benefits of UAN membership, Steve said "We have been aware of UAN for sometime now and it seemed advantageous to join the buying group to take advantage of the very keen prices on offer, but also the sales support that UAN offers its customers. We are delighted with our first impressions."

The growth in business at UAN is across the board said Andrew Dickinson, "We are growing sales in all areas as well as expanding our supplier and membership base. For us the year has started well and in addition to growth in our car business we are also seeing growth in the commercial vehicle parts sector as well.'
