Meet Budget Parts: Our Story, Team and Roles

The people behind your parts

A short introduction to who we are, how far we have come, and the two roles we are hiring for in Gouda. This is the same introduction for both roles.

40+ countries

24,000+
parts in the catalogue

The Budget Parts team, the vehicles we know, and the parts we supply.

Real stock, real shelves

Budget Parts is a specialist supplier of original and aftermarket Land Rover and Range Rover parts. We have been doing this since 1994, serving enthusiasts and professional workshops from staffed warehouses in Gouda and Drachten. We are the largest Land Rover parts specialist in the Netherlands, and we are now shipping across Europe and beyond.

We are not a dropshipper or a listing site. We hold real stock, we know the vehicles, and we know the difference the right part makes when a Defender is up on a ramp waiting for it. Everything about how we work follows from that. To give customers extra peace of mind, RoverParts.eu is officially certified by Trusted Shops.

From a Gouda parts shop to a European supplier

1994
Budget Parts starts out as a Land Rover parts specialist.
2001
The Gouda warehouse at Kampenringweg becomes the home base.
2010
A second warehouse opens in Drachten for better national coverage.
2011 to 2018
The webshop launches and is rebuilt, and online becomes a real part of the business.
2023
Bradley Sharnock takes over the company. A new chapter begins: SAP Business One goes in, we build our own in-house tools, and we push hard online.
Today
We deliver to customers in more than 40 countries, the catalogue has grown past 24,000 parts, and the website is visited from right across Europe and further afield.
At the 2023 handover

Mainly a Dutch business. Around 5% of sales went abroad, almost all of it to Belgium.

Now

Netherlands and Belgium at the core, growing fast into Germany, France and the wider EU.

Both of the roles below exist because the business is growing. When you join, you are joining that push.


The right part, fast, correct the first time

Availability

If we say it is in stock, it is on the shelf.

Speed

Most in-stock orders leave the same working day.

Getting it right

The correct part first time, so nobody waits twice.

What a normal day looks like

Morning

Deliveries arrive and get checked in against the orders. Stock is put away in the right locations. The phones and Live Chat open, and the first customer orders of the day start dropping in from across Europe.

Midday

Orders are picked and packed. The office handles quotes, returns and questions, and checks with the warehouse so what is promised is what gets picked. The specialists take the tricky fitment calls.

Afternoon

Packed orders go out for same-day dispatch. The warehouse is tidied and set up for tomorrow. Set weekday hours, no weekend work and no overtime, so the day has a clear end.
