A New Identity The Same Trusted Values C elebrating a successful brand refresh while building on decades of trust, service and expertise. Nearly a year on from the launch of its new identity, SDL Car Parts continues to strengthen its position as one of the UK’s leading independent motor factors. The move from SDL Minorfern to SDL Car Parts was designed to provide greater clarity for customers while preserving the reputation, relationships and values that have defined the business for generations. Today, the refreshed brand can be seen across branches, delivery vehicles, uniforms, digital platforms, and customer communications - creating a consistent and recognisable identity throughout the business.

SDL Car Parts
More Than a New Name A brand refresh designed to reflect who we are today while staying true to our roots. The transition to SDL Car Parts represented far more than a change of name. It was an opportunity to create a clearer, more modern identity that reflects the scale, professionalism and ambition of the business today. Every element of the refresh was carefully considered, from branch signage and fleet livery to digital communications and customer touchpoints. The result is a consistent brand experience that supports future growth while remaining familiar to long-standing customers. One of the most distinctive features of the refreshed identity is the signature blue colour, inspired by the original paint supplied by Rolls-Royce when SDL opened its first shop in 1978 - a subtle but
From the very beginning, our approach to this brand refresh was rooted in respect - respect for our heritage, for our customers, and for the trust that has been built over decades. SDL is a name that means something to the people we serve, and that was never going to change. Adding ‘Car Parts’ gave us the clarity we needed without losing the familiarity our customers have trusted for decades. Marta Madziar Marketing Manager SDL Car Parts
