Group Tyre Moves Into Fleet Market

Group Tyre (UK) Ltd has acquired the majority shareholding in fleettyreline Ltd, the only fleet company dealing solely with motor dealerships. The company will continue to operate under its own name, with founders Dean and Liz Williams continuing to play a leading role. The management team is strengthened by new director of sales, Martin Heath, who joins the company from Fit4Fleet. Group Tyre chairman John Church described the acquisition as “a perfect fit,” adding: “Group Tyre can offer a total and all-encompassing range of services to the motor dealer market, including authorised tyre fitting to fleet cars. This market is set to grow, believes Group Tyre, as the duty of care demanded of leasing companies becomes more significant.”
