National Performance Warehouse/National Auto Parts Warehouse (NPW) has added Dave Richardson to its staff as the new director of IT.

NPW—now with 19 warehouses and 40 stores across North America—has seen an accelerated increase in providing vital connectivity to its customers and suppliers, according to the company. NPW expects its need for IT resources to continue to grow, and Richardson’s extensive automotive background makes him a perfect fit for the company’s future growth.

Richardson’s previous experience includes a long tenure with Parts Depot, Uni-Select and Auto Plus/Pep Boys.

“We are excited about have an IT professional like Dave on the NPW team,” NPW Executive Vice President Chris Pacey said. “In his brief tenure with us we have already benefited by many enhancements he has made. Dave is a great mentor to our IT staff as well as understands the needs of all channels of our business model. I am sure we have found the right person to keep us on the leading edge of our IT needs for many years to come.”
