Tyre Service Professionals Launch Pan-European Network

A number of leading independent tyre dealers throughout Europe have joined together to launch a new pan-European network of tyre service professionals. This network, known as TEN (Tyre European Network), brings together more than 2,100 dealer locations and 6,000 affiliated tyre specialists from across the UK and continental Europe. At the core of TEN are a number of national groups including Tyrenet from the UK, Germany’s Top Service Team, Profile Tyrecenter in the Netherlands and Belgium, Italy’s Tyreteam and SEAS 24 in Spain and Portugal. Discussions are also currently underway with tyre organisations in a further six countries.

The network will offer fleet managers the reassurance of a single, fully operational European network combined with the flexibility of brand choice from highly professional independent dealers providing services whenever and wherever they are needed. Mike Riley, the inaugural vice president of TEN and managing director of Tyrenet in the UK, says: “TEN is an extremely exciting development for the tyre industry that will enable fleets and transport companies to manage their costs as effectively as possible and will allow tyre manufacturers to offer their products in locations where they do not already have a presence. It is a win-win situation for the tyre industry and all our customers.”

TEN will offer fleets total tyre management solutions across all brands and all-inclusive tyre management contracts, tailored to meet the specific needs and requirements of each customer. All TEN partners are brand independent, providing clear and objective advice on all the options available at the best possible rates.

“TEN brings us into a new era for the tyre service industry,” adds Riley. “It represents the direct and close collaboration of high performance, high quality tyre partners throughout Europe, enabling us to provide fleet owners with fast accessibility, brand-independent advice, online management information and unrivalled levels of service.”
