Kirkby Tyres’ investment in additional warehousing space at its central site in Speke, Liverpool over the past couple of years was recently completed, further extending its specialist mezzanine flooring facilities. This increase in warehousing footprint brings its total mezzanine facilities to 30,000 sqft. The space has been designed specifically to hold ATV and lawn & turf products. The wholesaler told Tyrepress that this has allowed it to invest in an increasing number of specialist sizes and deeper stock levels. The warehouse expansion project also included several sustainability measures recently recognised by ISO 14001 certification.

Kirkby added: “As an importer and wholesaler of speciality tyres we recognise the need to carry an ever-expending array of sizes and applications to meet the needs of our customers. Part of this recognition is the fact that many of our customers do not hold their own stock levels. Therefore, we are continually investing in a wider range of applications and improved stock-holding facilities in order to help the trade meet the requirements of end users.”

This stockholding expansion has meant additional products from its brands, BKT, MRL, Carlisle and CST/Maxxis.
