Autosupplies Group to acquire Leisureways UK Ltd

Autosupplies Group, comprising leading motor factors Autosupplies (Chesterfield) and Butlers Automotive, has entered into an agreement to purchase Leisureways UK Ltd of Rotherham.

The purchase is part of the Autosupplies Group’s continuing expansion plans throughout Yorkshire and East Midlands with the size and location of Leisureways fitting perfectly into the group’s portfolio.

Leisureways Ltd is a long established family business, serving customers in Rotherham for more than 60 years.

Work has already begun to integrate Leisureways into the Autosupplies Group of Companies, with the deal expected to complete on 1 October 2019.

Autosupplies Group managing director, David Clarke, said: “The acquisition of Leisureways fits strategically into our ongoing expansion plans and work has already begun with staff, customers and suppliers to ensure a seamless integration into the group. Leisureways is a business with a proud history – mirroring that of Autosupplies and Butlers – and we look forward to continuing its tradition of exceptional customer service as part of the Autosupplies Group.

Autosupplies Chesterfield is one of the single largest motor factor sites in the UK with over 100 staff and 70 vans. In October 2017, the Autosupplies Group of Companies purchased Butlers Automotive of Barnsley.
