However, the most exciting milestone has come in the past year with the launch of our new website, designed specifically with our dealers in mind.” “The platform enables dealers to order any product or part entirely online, from any internet-enabled device, at any time that suits them. Once logged in, they can access our full product range, along with their personalised offers and discounts.
