What Allmakes 4x4 does

Allmakes 4×4 (legal entity Allmakes PR2 4×4 Ltd) is a privately held UK wholesaler of parts and accessories for Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles, operating from its headquarters and warehouse at Didcot Quarter in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. Founded in 1976 and held under Border Holdings (UK) Ltd for over 40 years, the company holds £32m of stock across 20,000+ SKUs and is recognised as one of the largest independent JLR parts wholesalers globally, supplying more than 2,500 trade customers and 1,000+ stockists in domestic, European and international markets. Its product portfolio spans four quality tiers — Genuine, OE, OEM and Replacement parts — sourced from major OE manufacturers (AMK, BWI, Bilstein, Bosch, Lemforder, Denso, Mann+Hummel, Ferodo, Mintex), supplemented by two proprietary brands: PROEVO+ (premium steering and suspension components, launched October 2024 with a 2-year/24,000-mile warranty) and Terrafirma (Land Rover accessories and upgrades for off-road use).

The company's go-to-market is a multi-channel B2B wholesale model combining a stockist network, dedicated UK/Ireland/Europe delivery fleet, freight-forwarder partnerships for global customers, and the Allmakes PSP — a 24/7 online trading portal launched in 2008 as the first dedicated B2B platform in the JLR aftermarket, supporting multiple languages and currencies (GBP, EUR, USD). Customer segments include vehicle service and repair centres, retailers and mail-order businesses, off-road and overland specialists, 4×4 fleet operators and vehicle hire companies, distribution and wholesale businesses, and relief organisations/NGOs. The company is ISO 9001 accredited and holds Approved Economic Operator (AEO) status for customs/trade compliance.

In September 2024, Allmakes relocated to a new 190,000 sq ft facility with 15,000+ pallet locations and 3.5+ miles of small-parts binning, explicitly to enable the addition of 2,500+ new SKUs by summer 2025. Revenue is generated through one-time wholesale transactions on account-based pricing managed through the portal; specific revenue and pricing are not publicly disclosed. Brian Johnson is identified as a Company Director overseeing the recent expansion initiatives.
