Paul Glanville, Director of Service Parts Solutions for Exel's Automotive sector commented, "When Aftermarket (UK) Limited decided to outsource such a wide range of supply chain services within the automotive sector, the design and delivery of our end-to-end supply chain solution in such a short space of time was critical in ensuring the successful launch of ACDelco in the UK.
