Alliance Automotive Group UK and Ireland (AAG) has acquired Autosupplies, a Chesterfield-based motor factor and paint mixing specialist established in 1990.
Autosupplies is one of the UK’s leading independent motor factor groups, supplying quality automotive parts and accessories to garages and trade customers across Yorkshire, the Midlands, and beyond. With more than three decades of experience, the business has built a strong reputation for its extensive product offering, technical knowledge, and commitment to customer service. Its acquisition by Alliance Automotive Group marks another significant step in AAG’s continued expansion in the UK aftermarket sector.
AAG operates a network of more than 300 local stores and 20 regional distribution centres across the UK and Ireland, supported by a 1,000,000-square-foot National Distribution Centre. The acquisition further expands its presence and capabilities within the independent aftermarket.
David Clarke, the founder of Autosupplies, was advised on the transaction by Flint Bishop. The deal was led by Mark Wilcock, Partner in Flint Bishop’s Corporate Finance team, with support from George Ottewell, Janet Rhodes, and Jessica Ryan-Dawkins.
Mark Wilcock commented:
“Autosupplies has been a trusted name in the automotive sector for over 30 years, and joining Alliance Automotive Group opens an exciting new chapter for the business. Personally, having acted for David and Autosupplies for a number of years, I was delighted that Flint Bishop and I could support him through this important milestone. Congratulations to everyone involved on completing this deal.”
