First Line Ltd has been presented with the runners-up trophy in the prestigious GROUPAUTO ‘Supplier of the Year’ Awards at the gala dinner of the GROUPAUTO & UAN trade show in Liverpool.

The award provides further recognition of the strength of the First Line and Borg & Beck brands, as well as the relationship the company and its employees have with motor factors and workshops across the UK and Ireland.

In recent years First Line has also received domestic and export business awards and performed impressively in the latest Sunday Times HSBC International Track 200. This ranks the UK’s mid-market private companies with the fastest-growing international sales and provides an excellent barometer of private company growth and performance. Ranked at 51, First Line was the highest placed mainstream automotive parts distributor.

First Line Managing Director, Dan Joyner commented, “Our long held business philosophy is to offer our customers a broad range of premium quality service and repair components, that are underpinned by the highest level of availability and excellent customer support. As a result of upholding these core principles, our customers have responded by honouring us with several awards and decorations over the last few years in particular.” He added, “Alongside the quality that comes as standard throughout our product range, we could not have obtained these notable achievements without the hard work and commitment of our employees, so it is to them, as well as the individual businesses that have voted for us, that we offer our gratitude.”
