Gates Tyres Joins First Stop
Bridgestone’s First Stop network of tyre dealerships has signed up Gates Tyres in Cumbria, bringing the total number in the First Stop network to 155. The First Stop network has added an additional 23 dealerships since the start of the year.
Gates Tyres retails car, commercial and agricultural tyres and has more than 50 employees across its two sites in Workington and Carlisle. The dealership is celebrating joining the First Stop network by taking part in two shows this summer including hosting a F1 show, featuring Bridgestone’s F1 car and simulator, at the Cumberland Show on 19th July and a tyre safety event for local shoppers on 20 July.
Gordon Thompson, director at Gates Tyres comments: “Being part of the First Stop network enables tyre retailers such as ourselves to remain independent, but also enjoy all of the benefits of being part of a professional retail chain. As part of the First Stop network, we are looking forward to taking part in events over the summer and being able to provide our customers with and even better service thanks to in-store schemes and promotions.”
