At Flying Penguin we are very serious about
our commitment to product.
That is why we work continually to optimize our
stock holding.
All of our products are high quality. Most are
global brands and fitted as Original Equipment on new vehicles. Even our less
well known value ranges are subjected to exhaustive technical evaluation to
ensure they are fit-for-purpose. We back this commitment to product quality
with comprehensive warranties and no quibble returns policy.
We are also committed to high product
availability. We have over 100,000 part numbers on our system. Depending upon
the product, we can generally offer 65 – 98% first pick availability. Even
where we don't have the part on the shelf we have the supply chain in place to
rapidly locate and deliver what you need.
Below is a sample of our current supplier
programme. This is a snapshot, accurate at a point in time, as we continually
re-evaluate and evolve our product range, including depth, breadth, and brand
portfolio, to ensure we hold the stocks our customers need.
