18 August 2025 (Cirencester, UK) – Skywell has announced a long-term partnership with Northamptonshire-based logistics specialist Walkerpack, securing a centralised solution for the stocking and distribution of automotive parts across its expanding UK dealer network.
The agreement, centred at Walkerpack’s 250,000 sq. ft. facility on the Brackmills Industrial Estate in Northampton, represents a significant milestone in Skywell’s growth strategy. More than 700 individual part lines for the all-electric Skywell BE11 are already held in stock, with additional consignments scheduled to arrive in the coming months.
A Strategic Location for Growth
The Brackmills site, one of the UK’s busiest logistics hubs, provides Skywell with a highly accessible central location, optimising delivery routes to dealers nationwide. Walkerpack’s capabilities extend well beyond simple warehousing, with services including parts testing, assembly, and comprehensive logistics management.
With a strong track record in aerospace, retail, and manufacturing, Walkerpack has also established a robust presence in the automotive sector over the past decade, working with major manufacturers and tier-one suppliers. This proven expertise ensures Skywell dealers benefit from efficient, reliable parts supply at a critical stage of the brand’s UK launch.
Supporting a Rising Automotive Brand
Commenting on the new partnership, Steve Tiley, Sales Director of Walkerpack, said:
“We’re excited to collaborate with a rising automotive brand that’s already showing strong potential. With their first models now on the road and more innovation clearly on the horizon, it’s a great time to be supporting their journey. Backed by experience across multiple industries and a bold vision for the future, we’re looking forward to helping them grow and make a real impact in the automotive space.”
Skywell’s parts stock first arrived from China earlier this year to support the BE11’s UK launch. With more deliveries due imminently, the partnership ensures Skywell’s growing dealer network has consistent access to vital components.
Fast, Flexible Dealer Support
Dealers will be able to place orders using two fulfilment routes. A cost-sensitive standard option will suit planned maintenance requirements, while urgent “vehicle-off-road” (VOR) requests will benefit from extended order cut-off times and next-day delivery.
David Clark, Skywell UK General Manager, highlighted the importance of the collaboration:
“Walkerpack have organically grown their automotive parts business over the last decade, with their existing partnerships. I am confident that as Skywell upscales its UK operation, with future model lines launching and an increasing vehicle parc, they will be perfectly placed to support our anticipated growth and provide the service our dealer partners and customers will expect.”
Clark also confirmed plans to integrate Walkerpack’s self-developed online ordering portal with Skywell’s dealer systems. This move will enhance visibility on order progress, streamline tracking, and improve invoice management – further reducing lead times for retailers.
Building for the Future
As Skywell continues to establish itself within the competitive UK automotive market, its partnership with Walkerpack provides a strong foundation for sustainable growth. With scalable logistics infrastructure, centralised warehousing, and technology-driven ordering systems, the collaboration ensures Skywell dealers and customers benefit from reliable, efficient parts supply as the brand expands its model range and vehicle parc in the UK.
