Cardiff-based Spartan Motor Factors, which operates a number of branches and employs 145 people across South Wales and the West of England, has entered administration.
The administration process will be carried out by Deloitte’s Cardiff office.
Deloitte also said there have been no redundancies so far, but was unable to confirm whether Spartan’s Newport head office and 10 additional branches were operating as usual.
Spartan Motor Factors
Founded in January 2012, Spartan claims to have “one of the largest distribution centres and stockholdings in the South West”, with over 500,000 individual references available to order. A USP of the firm was a two-year guarantee on each parts sold. In its early years, Spartan won CAT’s Independent Factor of the Year award three times and more recently picked up an award for enterprise from the Welsh government.
