CES (UK) Ltd was set up in 1984 by Howard Warren and Charles Colton. Both managing directors love anything to do with cars and motor racing. Equally, they both have a passion for excellence. CES (UK) evolved as a result of these interests, aiming to offer the service level of a national company to the local garages in and around Chester.

Back in the 1980's the explosion in exhaust part numbers meant that the stock holding requirement for any garage became overwhelming and a national distributor was needed. CES was there to fulfill the role. For many years now we have supplied Britain's widest stock range of exhausts & catalysts for national distribution.

CES (UK) quickly expanded due to our mission to never say 'No'. This means we have to have the best technical expertise in the business, in order to source our vast stock of exhausts and catalysts. Over the years we have introduced a full range of car parts, garage equipment & training, providing automotive solutions for today and anticipating those of tomorrow.

We currently have 17 branches throughout the North West, North Wales, Midlands and the Isle of Man delivering a complete range of car parts on our vans to our local customer base.

Over the last 25 years we have twice been awarded Distributor of the year by the prestigious Automotive Distributor Federation. More recently, at the 2009 ADF Annual Awards, we won two of the top categories. CES were awarded the much coveted Distributor of Excellence award.  On top of that accolade, CES put in an amazing performance and scooped all of the awards in the new category of UK Parts Advisor of the Year.

In 2001, CES (UK) became a member of the UK Parts Alliance (UKPA), which consists of nine like-minded independent distributors. To find out more about the UKPA, visit www.ukpa.net
