GSF Car Parts has reinforced its status as Europe’s fastest-growing motor factor with exceptional performance in the first half of 2026 as it continues to close in on the stated ambition of being the UK’s number one player.
Revenue increased by 25.1% year-on-year across the six-month period to the end of June. This follows 21% growth in 2025 and extends an unprecedented run of four years of rapid expansion. These results continue to outperform the wider UK automotive aftermarket, which is predicted to remain flat.
Since the beginning of 2024, GSF has now invested over £150 million into the business. This includes the opening of its National Distribution Centre (NDC) in Wolverhampton, enhancements to stock availability, new IT systems, fleet upgrades, and continued expansion of its branch network.
During the first half of 2026, GSF added 12 new branches, taking the total network to 216 locations. It’s on track to open more branches during the remainder of the year and beyond. The business aims to offer a market-leading service, underpinned by a relentless focus on availability throughout the UK.
Steve Horne, Chief Executive Officer at GSF Car Parts, said: “GSF is continuing to grow strongly across all key areas of the business, and H1 2026 demonstrates that the exceptional momentum we’ve built in recent years is being sustained. We’re on track to become the UK’s number one aftermarket provider.
“Our people never accept the status quo and are laser-focused on driving continuous improvements to support our loyal customers. Our mantra is ‘The Customer is King’, and every branch is empowered to strengthen these local customer relationships.
“Our investment strategy is delivering real results but, most importantly, this performance is driven by our people. While we have done ourselves proud with what we’ve achieved so far, there is much more to come from Team GSF.”
