Kerr’s Tyres buys Roundabout Tyre & Battery Service

Kerr’s Tyre’s & Auto has acquired Belfast-based Roundabout Tyre & Battery Service. Roundabout Tyre & Battery Service have been operating from Belfast’s outer ring for 31 years. No price details have been released.

Announcing the news, Kerr’s Tyres Group representatives said they believe the acquisition will “strengthen its national coverage”. Kerr’s have retained the current staff and are recruiting further so customer service can be maintained and further services introduced.

Kerr’s commercial director James McKee said: “Despite the ongoing concerns over Covid-19 and impending changes to the market with Brexit there were a number of compelling reasons to complete this transaction. It not only strengthens the Kerr’s footprint across NI, it broadens our service offering, helping to diversify the business and build on its success achieved to date. The sector offers opportunities for consolidation and we will be looking carefully at how we can continue to grow Kerr’s Tyres Group”

Roundabout Tyre & Battery Service has been rebranded as Roundabout Tyres & Auto and will now offer the 24/7 365 UK & Ireland coverage offered by Kerr’s Tyres Group.

In May 2020, Kerr’s Tyres gained £500,000 of funding and has invested several million pounds in growth and acquisition projects in recent years. With the addition of Roundabout Tyres & Auto, the company now has 13 tyre centres across the island of Ireland.
