National Opened 6 Branches in 2009, Next Opening: January 2010

National Tyres and Autocare finished 2009 on a positive note with a string of new branch openings and looks to the year ahead with plans for further acquisition and investment as part of the company’s expansion strategy. Despite a tough year all round for the market, National launched a number of new branches throughout the year, including sites in Livingston, Grimsby, Norwich, Selby and Leicester. Further branch openings are on National’s agenda for 2010 with the first, in Wrexham, due to launch at the end of January.

The new branches offer the latest in automotive technology, such as automated MOT Test Lanes (ATLs) along with core services which include tyres, exhausts, brakes, batteries, steering and suspension.

Tony Neill, CEO for National Tyres and Autocare, commented “The last year has proved to be a testing time for all businesses, but now more than ever, it’s critical that we continue to invest in our business. We believe that our expertise, competitive pricing and high level of customer service make National the first and only choice for motorists. We are determined to preserve these values in all our branches, old and new, and hope to continue to develop the company with a number of new branch launches in 2010.”
