Continental Engines Ltd. has announced the appointment to its Board of Mr. Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia, one of the leading figures in the European automotive aftermarket.
Mr. Ahluwalia is best known as the founder and driving force behind UK’s No.1 parts distributor, Euro Car Parts (ECP). Taking it from a small start-up in London to one of Europe’s largest aftermarket distributors of automotive replacement parts to independent garages, body repairers and the B2C e-commerce sector, he sold the ECP business in 2011 to LKQ Corporation of Chicago – a Fortune 500 company – but has remained in overall charge of all LKQ’s UK companies.
In the meantime, he has built up a number of successful property-based enterprises in the UK.
