UK automotive parts distributor serving trade, retail, and collision repair
Euro Car Parts operates a sprawling branch network (270+ locations across UK and Ireland) stocked with over 100,000 SKUs, running on legacy enterprise stack (SAP, Oracle, Hyperion) with minimal modern tooling adoption. The hiring mix is heavily skewed toward sales (71 of 108 open roles) paired with operational pressure around margin improvement and return-rate reduction — suggesting the core challenge is not technology debt but field execution and supply-chain efficiency across a large, distributed workforce.
