Fleet Parts

What Fleet Parts does

Fleet Parts Ltd is a privately held UK company founded in 1974 and headquartered in Warrington, with a secondary distribution depot in Crawley, West Sussex. Its core business is the remanufacture of commercial vehicle components — disc brake calipers (both air disc and hydraulic types), air compressors, brake shoes, pneumatic and hydraulic components, clutches (under the Motacraft brand), automatic slack adjusters (MEI brand), and AdBlue/emissions components — serving the truck, trailer, bus, coach, rail, and off-highway/plant segments. The company self-describes as a market leader in commercial vehicle disc brake caliper remanufacturing, with monthly capacity exceeding 3,000 calipers and proprietary dynamometer-based testing that validates braking force, synchronisation, and electronic wear sensor calibration against OEM specifications. Approximately 50% of its component offering is remanufactured in-house; the balance is new OEM and generic parts sourced from manufacturers including Knorr-Bremse, Wabco, Haldex, ArvinMeritor, and Brembo.

The second business line is authorised distribution of vehicle diagnostic equipment — Texa (since 1992), Bosch, Delphi, and more recently ThinkCar — alongside Texa Konfort air conditioning service stations. Fleet Parts is also the UK distributor for MEI Automatic Slack Adjusters, which reach OEMs and aftermarket stockists in over 60 countries via the John Bruce distribution network. Recurring revenue is generated through annual Texa software subscriptions (TexPack Truck at £810, OHW at £455, Car/Bike/Marine at £340–£780, plus Tex@Info technical support at £320+) and Delphi DS subscriptions. UKAS-accredited ISO 9001:2008 (quality) and ISO 14001:2015 (environmental, achieved May 2017) certifications underpin the remanufacturing and distribution operations.

The company operates with a hybrid go-to-market: enterprise field sales with named account managers (Mark for diagnostic enquiries, Rebecca Ellison for engineering) offering on-site demonstrations and no-obligation trials, complemented by an e-commerce storefront at fleetparts.co.uk and the Crawley depot (managed by Hugo Gomes) for southern England fulfilment. Customers range from local authority fleets (Tameside MBC) and airports (Leeds Bradford Airport) to coach operators, gas distributors (Calor Gas), independent truck workshops, and OEMs. Revenue, ownership structure, and headcount beyond the disclosed 101–250 employee band are not publicly disclosed.
