About us
Tyres have always been in our DNA. Believe it or not, we began our tyre adventure back in 1990 forming The Fleet Tyre Management (FTM), a network of 832 independent tyre centres across the UK, serving the fleet sector with a common price point and centralised independent billing. It was the first of its kind. Later we formed a truck and HGV breakdown division. The 90s and 2000s saw the introduction of a number of other tyre network and management ventures into the automotive market place, including setting up Fit4Fleet on behalf of Vauxhall. Roll on 30 years, we now partner with some of the UK's largest automotive providers, delivering outsourced, whitelabelled tyre management solutions, working across the entire tyre supply chain and collaborating with the biggest networks to offer a panel of over 6,000 centres and 2,000 mobile providers - so we like to think we know a thing or two about tyres!
