United Aftermarket Network
UAN continues to develop rapidly as a buying group in the automotive aftermarket, currently with over 180 motor factors and over 250 branches across the UK affiliated to the group. By working closely with, and investing in the future of our affiliates through our value-added programmes, we help them to strengthen their position in a competitive market.
Alliance Automotive Group and GPC
UAN is part of Alliance Automotive Group; one of the largest distributor of vehicle parts and the provider of technical knowledge to more than 25,000 car & commercial vehicle repairers, garages, fast fit outlets and body shops across Europe.
About Us
Since being formed in 2004, UAN has grown to become one of the most recognisable names in the UK’s automotive aftermarket. Our team philosophy is to work closely with our affiliates to help develop and grow their businesses to remain strong for the future. Following our acquisition by Alliance Automotive Group from founders Andrew and Rachael Dickinson in 2015, we have benefitted from the combined buying power and additional resources from our parent company.
UAN Events
Our affiliates and suppliers are brought together every year through our series of popular events. The Trading Group Spring event usually takes place in May each year, providing over 360 delegates with the opportunity to gather and hold meetings. The UAN & GROUPAUTO Trade Shows take place in October and are the largest in the industry.
