PPK's acquisition follows on from last November's takeover of the three-branch Lourimar chain by Shortis. This business (trading as Motorspares and CDG) also had an outlet in Bury St Edmunds.
"I hope everyone will welcome Sarah, Phil, Joy and Jacob into our group of companies" said Managing Director Richard Shortis, adding that the firm was 'on the lookout' for more businesses to acquire.
