Our experienced team of buyers and product managers is, quite simply,the best in the business. They search the world to deliver the best in range,value and quality for our customers. To maintain a consistent supply oforiginal quality parts we operate our own sourcing and shippingoperations in East Asia, and enjoy direct supply agreements with thefactories of the world’s leading brands.

We are the UK’s leading distributor of parts for cars and light commercialvehicles. Over 110,000 stocked part numbers - more than any ourcompetitors - proves that we don’t just ‘cherry-pick’ a limited range ofpopular, fast-movers. And, on the rare occasion that a part is notavailable from stock, our Special Orders team is on hand to go that extramile for our customers.

We are famous for our bumper-to-bumper availability on parts for BMW,Mercedes, Porsche and VW cars, after all it’s a proud part of our heritage.This quest for breadth of range has carried over into our all-makes, Koreanand Japanese programmes where we have quickly establishedourselves as the supplier of choice.

Managing such a substantial inventory requires sophisticated systems,and our passion for accuracy led us to develop our own, intelligent partnumbering system. From the part number alone our experienced SalesAdvisors can identify the product, the vehicle marque and the brand.

Faster.... unprecedented levels of logistical support translatesto even higher levels of customer service.

Our brand new National Distribution Centre is not the end of our journey;it’s the beginning of a new one. Together with our network of RegionalDistribution Centres and the expanding branch network we will deliverever increasing ranges along with higher levels of availability, deliveryand customer service.

This brand new building has 400,000 sq.ft of floor space within a 20 acresite including 250 car parking spaces. There is 12,000 sq.ft of office spaceand a fully equipped training centre including a permanent, workinggarage equipment display area. It is also home to our flagship retail store.Located at junction 10 of the M42, and less than half a mile from a majorrail freight terminal, it is ideally situated to achieve maximum reach withminimum journey times. The resulting reduction in emissions combinedwith the very latest energy saving devices will deliver significantenvironmental benefits.

The National Distribution Centre and eight strategically located RegionalDistribution Centres supply a 90 location branch network that stretchesfrom Glasgow to Plymouth and Belfast to Norwich. Across the country weemploy 2,600 team members and this will grow to 3,300 by the end of2011.

Each branch is restocked overnight and receives up to six furtherdeliveries every day to satisfy urgent ‘vehicle off road’ requirements. Ourdelivery fleet includes 1,000 vans and 300 motorcycles, which providespeedy and reliable local deliveries irrespective of traffic conditions. Asmore branches open we are committed to extending our on-demanddelivery service to more and more customers, with parts delivered within30 minutes of order placement.

Smarter.The National Distribution Centre is powered by the very latest inautomated Location and Task Management Technology (LTMT) whichintegrates seamlessly with our Global Forecasting & Supply Systems(GFSS) to ensure the optimum mix of stock breadth and depth acrossthe country.

LTMT directs inbound pallets to the ideal rack location based uponsize, weight and usage and the system automatically replenishes pickface locations based upon demands generated at Regional Hubsand Branches.

Every second taken in order processing can make a huge differencein the time taken to get parts to our customers. This is why we’ve investedin the very latest, highly accurate wireless Radio Frequencycommunications and voice activated systems.

Clear voice commands are transmitted to warehouse operatives whocrosscheck each location and product using barcode readers. Theintelligence built into the system makes sure that heavy items are pickedfirst to eliminate damage to lighter more fragile parts.

Page 15: IGGER ETTER &ASTER 3MARTER - Branches Nationwidecorporate.eurocarparts.com/pdf/ecp_corporate_brochure_web.pdf · Hand Tools Engine Oils & Consumables ... AG buying and marketing group.

Beyond our National Distribution Centre, constant profiling of our stockholding within Regional Hubs and our branch network means that wemaximise availability, eliminate waste and pass on cost savings to ourcustomers.

We have invested heavily into our own cataloguing system to make surethat the right part is selected and delivered every time. The result is aparts look up system which accurately drills down to the right part,removing invalid choices and eliminating errors.

Having identified and picked the right part, GPS tracking of our deliveryfleet allows us to give precise delivery times, reroute for emergencydeliveries and constantly improve customer service.

Together....a great place to work, a better place to buy

People are our most valued asset. From our supplier partners to our teammembers and customers, we recognise that people make the differencebetween good and great. Our philosophy is simple: supply the right parts,at the right time at everyday low prices and give friendly service andtechnical advice that exceeds expectations.

We’ve turned away from the stereotypical Personnel or HR Department.We employ a People Director and a team of People Developers wholocate and develop the talent needed to meet our growth objectives.Euro Car Parts employs more than 2,600 team members, with a plannedincrease to 3,300 during 2011. None of our People Team has a permanentdesk space, recognising the need for them to be continuously in andamongst our people and potential people, looking for raw talent andthe stars of tomorrow. Their brief is clear; look for the right attitude andaptitude with high levels of energy and enthusiasm. From here we investheavily in developing the right levels of technical competence requiredto meet the needs of our customers.

Employee development and training is carried out by a range ofproviders; we look for the best to fulfil a given need. We have fullyequipped training centres at our National Distribution Centre inTamworth, our Wembley head Office and in many of our larger branches.Our own internal Training Team is backed by investment in specialistexternal resource and we are grateful for the huge investment made intraining our people by our major supplier partners.

In Euro Car Parts, equal opportunity isn’t just a legislative obligation it’s away of life. We have a full range of career opportunities, both part timeand full time, from school leavers to mature recruits. Our multiculturalmake-up is a major asset in developing our supply chain and wechallenge anyone to find more ethnic diversity in a major UK company.But we all share that common philosophy: the right parts, at the right timeat everyday low prices, together with friendly service and technicaladvice that exceed expectations.
