The UK Parts Alliance Ltd is a major force in the distribution of automotive parts in the Automotive Aftermarket, consisting of nine strategically located, independent distributor companies, specialising in the national and local supply of O.E. manufacturers' branded products and support services.
	Formed in 2010, the Independent Automotive Aftermarket Federation is an evolution of the ADF, divided into three different divisions representing distributors, garages and political lobbying. It is therefore structured to represent the interests of the wider aftermarket.
	The ADF is the UK trade association representing manufacturers, importers and independent wholesale distributors (motor factors) of automotive components and other materials.
	The Alliance Autocentre programme provides its network of independent garages with a range of exclusive product support modules including equipment, marketing, technical support and training services – all designed to maximise Service & Repair opportunities and develop technicians' skills as vehicle technologies advance.
	The Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) is the professional association for individuals working in the motor industry. The Institute is also the Sector Skills Council for the automotive retail industry and the governing body for the Automotive Technician Accreditation (ATA) scheme.
	Founded in 1905, BEN is the occupational benevolent fund for employees past and present (and their dependants) from the motor, cycle, motorcycle, commercial vehicle and agricultural engineering industries, plus all their associated trades, organisations and industries.
	The SMMT plays a central role in the working life of the motor industry. Whether the industry is your business or it impacts on your organisation in any way, SMMT can deliver real business benefits to help your company meet the challenges of the future.
	The Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMIF) is the trade association for the retail motor industry, and our membership consists of thousands of businesses operating in the automotive sector.
	The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) provides a range of licensing, testing and enforcement services with the aim of improving the roadworthiness standards of vehicles ensuring the compliance of operators and drivers with road traffic legislation, and supporting the independent Traffic Commissioners..
	The Right to Repair Campaign has been created by the independent automotive aftermarket in response to potential changes in legislation in Europe that could drive all repair work into the vehicle manufacturers franchised dealerships.
