At Mercedes-Benz Parts Logistics, we support more than 240 dealers, managing the distribution and logistics of all Mercedes-Benz approved parts in the UK. Our vision is to provide best-in-class services, parts and accessories to care for our customers, and here in the UK our four key focus areas are Service Delivery; Systems Landscape and Data Transparency; Automation and the Development of our Colleagues.

We’re always looking for talented people to join our teams as we and our industry continue to change. We're proud of our culture and want to recruit the very best people to join us.

About our programme
