Robert Forrester, Chief Executive of Bristol Street Motors, said: “Croydon is an exciting and vibrant borough and so we are delighted to open this PartsPlus centre in the heart of south London.

“It is Bristol Street Motors’ first representation in this area and a great addition to our very successful PartsPlus division.”

“I am certain we will grow and flourish in Croydon, becoming a key part of Bristol Street Motors’ PartsPlus network.”
