Jobs created at company that’s really motoring

Twelve new jobs have been created in Birmingham after automotive experts Andrew Page Limited opened its 58th UK branch at SEGRO’s Kings Norton Business Centre (KNBC).

The company has recently signed a 10-year lease on a 4,065 sq ft unit in Consort Close.

Led by branch manager Rob Steven, the Kings Norton site will service garages and workshops in the local area, offering car parts at competitive prices compared with many of the world’s leading automotive component companies.

Jane Leedham, leasing manager for SEGRO, said: “We are very pleased to welcome Andrew Page Ltd to the KNBC and the job opportunities the new branch will bring for local people.”

Mark Roberts, managing director of Andrew Page Ltd, said: “We pride ourselves on the depth of our knowledge of the parts market and encourage our customers to take advantage of it. We look forward to welcoming new customers where they will find a complete range of high quality parts at very reasonable prices.

“As well as supplying parts, our AP-Tech division also supplies workshop equipment, including diagnostic tools. If technicians need to update their skills or receive training on some of the new electronic or diagnostic technologies, we offer a unique training programme, Auto Education.”

Kings Norton Business Centre is the premier Business Centre in south Birmingham, meeting the business space needs of a diverse range of companies. Located on a 24.3 hectare (60 acre) site, its local management team is able to cater for the needs of the occupiers from its on-site regional office. The estate is maintained on a structured basis providing a first class business and working environment, with tenants benefiting from 24-hour mobile security, CCTV coverage and consequential low crime rates. KNBC’s units are marketed by agents Harris Lamb and DTZ.
