Simon Turner and Paul Whiter, co-founders and Directors of PFS Parts Ltd. have
been Saab owners and enthusiasts for many years. Paul and Simon established
the Saab enthusiasts website http://www.saabcentral.com
nearly 10 years ago. Saabcentral has gone on to become by far the largest website
of it’s kind in the UK today.
In 2003 Simon and Paul decided jointly to carry this internet experience
over to an e-commerce based website (PartsforSaabs.com) to offer like minded
Saab Enthusiasts
genuine Saab, performance and aftermarket Saab parts and accessories at discounted
prices.
Since 2003 the business has gone from strength to strength. In May of 2005
PFS Parts Ltd relocated from London into a 2000 square foot distribution unit
in Northamptonshire. Then, due to continued expansion, in November 2007, the
need arose once again to move to larger premises, PFS Parts Ltd. is now situated
in a 4000 square foot warehouse on a large and well situated industrial estate
near Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. These facilities mean that PartsforSaabs.com
probably has the largest stockholding of any specialist Saab online retailer
in the UK, enabling us to fulfil the majority of orders from stock for prompt
shipment worldwide.
The current staff behind PFS Parts Ltd include Paul Whiter, Clive Freemantle,
Gavin Hancock, Rhys Kelly, Alex Whiter & Robert Horton. Clive joined PFS
Parts Ltd from the Nordic Car Company in May 2005. Clive brings a total of almost
30 years of parts experience with him to PFS. Clive has overall responsibility
for the Volvo side of PFS Parts.
Gavin joined PFS in December 2005 in a trainee position, he has since shown
himself to be very quick to learn and is now a valued member of the PFS team
involved in helping customers with parts enquiries as well as a multitude of
other essential tasks.
 Paul
Whiter previously worked as a freelance web developer and has lots of experience
behind him with Internet programming languages such as HTML, PHP and JavaScript.
Paul has in the past designed several complex online database driven applications.
Paul's website development experience will help to ensure that PartsforSaabs.com
is using the latest e-commerce technology to ensure total security. Paul's
experience also helps to make PartsforSaabs.com one of the most comprehensive
and user-friendly websites of its kind on the Internet today.
The main warehouse & packing team consists of Rhys Kelly, Alex Whiter and
Robert Horton.
Rhys joined PFS Parts a little over 2 years ago, starting out as a packer, he
is now responsible for looking after the warehouse and taking care of goods
in/out in addition to his packing duties.
Alex joined PFS Parts as a packer in the summer of 2007, followed by Robert
in summer 2008.
The sister website to ‘PartsforSaabs’ is www.partsforvolvosonline.com
which was launched in February 2004 and now lists nearly 3000 products. Keep
