United Aftermarket Network (UAN), the UK buying group, is launching into the CV aftermarket, following the recruitment of eight CV motor factors.

CV factors now part of UAN include: Total Parts Distribution, Aghabridge Ltd, Lea Valley Truck Parts, Trafford Brake & Hose Services Ltd, Advance Truck Components Ltd, S&W Services (Yorkshire) Ltd, LMS Auto Components Ltd and Benella Components Ltd.

UAN managing director, Andrew Dickinson, says: “The CV aftermarket requires a different approach to the car industry and that there are opportunities in the sector for a dedicated CV buying group. UAN exists to bring the supply chain closer together and work with both suppliers and factors to ensure growth and prosperity.”

UAN comprises 57 distributors and has more than 40 approved suppliers across a range of product groups for its car and CV motor factors.
