Mobile fitter Grippy joins TyreSafe

Mobile tyre fitting service Grippy.co.uk is on board as TyreSafe’s newest member. Stuart Jackson, chairman of the safety organisation, describes Grippy’s sign up as “great news for car owners in and around Milton Keynes and across the country” as they will “now benefit from an even higher level of tyre safety advice when they have one of the friendly mobile tyre fitters from Grippy come to their premises.”

The Milton Keynes-headquartered tyre retailer, which promises to fit customers’ tyres at their complete convenience, will benefit from early TyreSafe campaign awareness, enabling it to integrate and co-ordinate the safety message within its own marketing activities.

“Involvement with TyreSafe is also incredibly beneficial for any business connected to the tyre industry, as it can significantly enhance their corporate social responsibility programme,” Jackson added. “Businesses that join are able to clearly demonstrate to both their staff and customers that they care about road safety and want to make a difference.”

Grippy manager Jamie Cummings commented that “joining TyreSafe marks another exciting chapter for Grippy and in particular for our staff who can’t wait to help spread the tyre safety message to customers.” 

Figures show that since 2006, the year TyreSafe was formed, the number of people killed or seriously injured in a tyre related accident has declined by 30 per cent.
