Simon has served as LKQ UK and Ireland’s Group IT Director since 2020, after starting at LKQ Euro Car Parts as a Business Analyst in 2009 and moving up to managing the business’s IT functions.

Prior to joining the group, Simon worked for Kerridge Systems – a global business that provides the specialist enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that LKQ Euro Car Parts has used since 1996. Simon played an instrumental role in upgrading this software to Kerridge System’s K8 Babbage – a large and complex upgrade project that required exemplary project management and an agile approach and provides the necessary tools and architecture for future upgrades for the business. 

To continue our success, it’s important we continuously look for ways in which we can achieve the most effective warehouse management, operational excellence and first-rate customer service.”
