Ryan FowlerGlen Callum Associates (GCA) has launched ‘Our Aftermarket’, a campaign aimed at raising awareness of the diverse and dynamic career opportunities within the UK’s £21bn automotive aftermarket.
The campaign features a series of interviews with senior industry leaders Nigel Duffield (PHINIA Delphi), Steve Jarnet (Corteco UK) and Neil Grant (HELLA UK), each sharing their personal journeys and highlighting the breadth of roles available across the sector.
Glen Shepherd, director at Glen Callum Associates, said: “For too long, the term ‘aftermarket’ has been misunderstood. It’s not just garages and grease. We’re talking tech, data, EV innovation, senior leadership and digital transformation. It’s time we told that story.”
The first video, now live on GCA’s YouTube channel, features Nigel Duffield, who said: “At [PHINIA Delphi] at the moment, there’s a logistical department, there’s a sales department, there’s a digital media department, there’s a marketing department, and there’s a HR department… all of these businesses still have the same internal organisation. It’s just that it happens to be in the automotive aftermarket.”
The campaign aims to reposition the aftermarket as a sector of choice for new and existing talent, encouraging businesses to better promote progression routes, skills development, and the real-world impact of careers within the industry.
More episodes featuring interviews with Steve Jarnet and Neil Grant will launch in the coming weeks.
