ATS Euromaster Wins Leicester City Council Deal

Leicester City Council has appointed ATS Euromaster to supply and service the tyres across its fleet of 883 vehicles, which ranges from civic limousines to 32-tonne refuse collection trucks, and includes over 600 vehicles plated at 3.5 tonnes or below. The new contract will see the fleet supplied with a range of Avon, Taurus, Kumho and Encore tyres and follows a ten year period which saw the council’s tyre needs met by a local independent service provider.

Leicester City Council Fleet Manager Stephen Kerry said: “ATS Euromaster’s wide-ranging expertise also means its staff are as skilled at working on cars and vans as they are on heavy trucks. Plus they’re used to servicing the tyres on all manner of specialist municipal equipment, such as loading shovels, mobile access platforms and compact sweepers,” he adds.

Key to ATS Euromaster’s ability to support a major local authority fleet is its accreditation by the Contractors Health and Safety Scheme (CHAS) – a government-backed initiative for health and safety pre-qualification. It gives organisations such as Leicester City Council the confidence that ATS Euromaster will meet a nationally recognised and accepted threshold standard, with ATS Euromaster being the first national tyre supplier to be accredited by CHAS.

Amongst the more diverse vehicles found within Leicester City Council’s fleet are two mobile libraries, together with various agricultural and construction vehicles. It also operates a dedicated refuse collection and recycling fleet, highways maintenance vehicles, skiploaders, sweepers, tankers, gritters and over 140 MPVs, minibuses and welfare buses.

ATS Euromaster’s nationwide network of 378 fast-fit centres includes both a car/van and dedicated truck facility in Leicester, supported by further sites throughout the local area. This includes long-established centres in Loughborough, Hinckley, Melton Mowbray and Market Harborough.  Leicester City Council also enjoys access to ATS Euromaster’s fleet of mobile service vans.
