We are the largest distributor and authorised dealer of the official manufacturer Maxton Design. However, this was not always the case. Our journey began in 2012 with two people, working out of a small unit, shipping a couple of orders a day. There was a lot of blood, sweat and tears put into starting the business, but this was also part of the journey, many memories were made and lessons learned.
After 6 years of operating, our website listed around 1,500 unique products. This presented a problem with stock as you can imagine a body kit isn’t exactly small. In 2018, we had also tripled the number of employees, so the premises were overflowing in all areas. We’d say it was time to take the leap but there wasn’t an option not to at that point.
Maxton House
We stayed in Bradford, West Yorkshire but now had a lot more space. For the next three and a half years we continued to grow, and our team tripled yet again. Even though we are based in the UK, at this point we had begun shipping globally, helping make Maxton accessible for everyone. It’s probably best to skip over the COVID period, as let’s be honest, no one wants to be reminded of that.
Again, we were running out of space and felt it was really time to move to a place we could call home for the foreseeable future.
2022
At the start of 2022 we completed the move into our current premises based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Our new 34,000 square foot unit is the perfect place to store, pack and ship products.
It’s surreal to think of how quickly time has gone by, from shipping a couple of orders a day to now hundreds a week. Our website now lists over 4,500 individual products, the company has grown significantly and as much work as we have put in, it is also thanks to you.
We have 10 members in our warehouse team that dedicate their time to making sure your orders are correctly shipped each week, so you can be sure if a product is in stock, we’ll get it shipped for you the next working day.
Office
The office also runs like a well-oiled machine. Our UK customer service team is available to answer any questions or concerns you have Monday – Friday. Drop us an email or even call.
We couldn’t ask for a better group of people to be representing Maxton Design, helping manage all customer enquiries and the boring stuff behind the scenes!
Fitting
We introduced a fitting service in July of 2022 which has been a great way for us to host customers and ensure over 400 products have been fitted to the highest standard. Although we do supply fitting kits for most products, we appreciate that some people just want to keep their hands clean and avoid any chance of a headache.
We started with only one technician but have decided he deserves some company. With two factory trained technicians we are now able to get full kits fitted in the blink of an eye. However, you may not want to leave our waiting room which is decked out with a PS5 and a few games so you can race the time away.
2022 exceeded our expectations and we look forward to celebrating more milestones as the company continues to grow. We wouldn’t be where we are today without the support of the whole car community, thank you and here’s to an amazing 2023…Oh, and remember. Never follow. Always lead.
