TyreSafe to launch quarterly briefings before industry

TyreSafe has announced that it will begin quarterly communications briefings on 7 September, issuing an open invitation to existing TyreSafe members and other interested parties such as road safety professionals, fleets or even company HR managers. The briefing will tackle the organisation’s upcoming campaigns, launching campaign materials for this October’s tyre safety month, the organisation’s new website and a range of online resources, and is designed to allow members and non-members alike to plan and integrate their own activities around them. Anybody wishing to attend the free event can do so by registering with TyreSafe by calling 01787 226995.

“The level of interest and support for TyreSafe has grown enormously in recent times so it was important that our regular communications meetings evolved to allow input and participation from as many people as possible,” explains Stuart Jackson, chairman, TyreSafe. “We were overwhelmed with the attendance at the roadshow we held in January and it would be fantastic if we can get similar levels of support. The meeting will be a fantastic opportunity for companies to hear detailed plans about future campaigns so that they can dovetail their own activities and fully utilise our resources and materials.”

As well as launching the new materials, attendees will hear presentations from two TyreSafe members on key topics that will impact significantly on the industry over the coming 12 months. The first will be from the Highways Agency who will provide an outline about their revised road safety remit and how companies can work with the organisation to improve road safety. The second presentation will be from Tyresure, a longstanding member of TyreSafe, who will provide a briefing about the impending legislative changes regarding tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) and how workshops need to equip themselves accordingly.

“This is a great opportunity for anyone in the tyre and wider automotive industry or road safety professionals to understand what TyreSafe does, how we work with our partners and understand what’s available to them and how they can become involved. I’m sure that attendees will find it extremely valuable and informative and I look forward to seeing as many people as possible there.

“Tyre safety should be of paramount importance to anyone connected with the trade, so this event is a great opportunity to get involved. This is a fantastic chance to discover more about this very important subject and put something back into the industry,” adds Jackson.
