Andrew Page Limited, one of the UK's fastest growing motor factors, has announced the creation of a new national distribution centre in Derbyshire.

The centre, which will support the company's expansion plans for 2012 and beyond, will comprise a 100,000 sq ft facility located at Markham Vale Business Centre, making it the largest facility so far for the site. The location has good communications links including immediate access to the M1 motorway.

Construction of the new Andrew Page distribution facility will start next month and be up and running by the summer.

Andrew Page Managing Director, Mark Roberts, said: "Markham Vale is an ideal location for our national distribution facility and will support our expansion plans and our aspirations as a leading supplier of quality parts and components to our growing list of trade customers."

Andrew Page Limited has been operating since 1946 and currently has a network of 62 nationwide branches serving a range of customers from garages to workshops and the company employs over 1600 people.
