Bush Tyres (B.A. Bush & Son Limited) has signed a 10-year lease on an industrial unit in Wakefield, as the firm gears up for further expansion across the North of England. The news comes just three months after Bush Tyres opened its first branch in the city.
BA Bush & Son has opened a new commercial depot in Wakefield. BA Bush says it will invest significantly in new mobile tyre fitting technologies and vans based at the new site to deal with the growing number of agricultural and commercial fleet customers who live in and around Wakefield. The depot is backed by the company’s tyre distribution arm, BAB Distribution, and will link up strategically with the company’s existing network of branches. With nearby branches in Rotherham, Knaresborough and Goole, this group can serve the thousands of businesses and farmers who live and work in that catchment area.
Stefan Busby who works at the Bush Tyres branch in Spalding branch has been named Pirelli Performance Centre (PPC) Technician of the Year 2023. Busby won after the list of around 50 entrants was whittled down to three finalists. The final was held at the Burton Pirelli Performance Centre on Wednesday 13 December.
UK distributor for Ascenso Tyres, BAB Distribution – part of the Bush Tyres group – recently took key Ascenso dealer partners North Devon Tyres and Redpath Tyres to India to visit the Ascenso factory and offices in Bharuch and Mumbai.
Over a year in the making, Bush Tyres has launched phase one of its brand-new website and tyre search. According to the company, the new site represents “huge investment in the company’s future”.
Continuing our 2022 analysis of the leading UK tyre retailers by branch count, Just Tyres is this year’s number 11, having grown via the addition of two new centres which brings its total to 39. At this rate, Just Tyres is likely to overtake Mr Clutch into 10th position during the next year or two.
This year the top 25 table has been characterised by growth virtually across the board. However, something that stands out in positions 15 to 25 is that there have been a couple of new entries onto the ranking in addition to this. Exemplifying stability in the market, In ‘n’ Out Autocentres appears to have remained in 15th position with 27 branches.
BA Bush & Son Ltd has opened a new Bush Tyres branch in Darlington, County Durham. Bush Tyres Darlington can be found just off Allington Way on the Yarm Road Industrial Estate. The branch opens its doors this month under the management of branch manager, Dave Smith and his team.
Bush Tyres has expanded its Boston, Lincolnshire branch with four new service bays. The branch offers MOT testing for cars as well as Class 7 MOTs for vans and motorhome. The improvements to the branch include the installation of wider bays for improved access for larger vehicles. Bush has also installed an Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Camera and Radar Calibration Service. The mechanical expansion means Bush Tyres Boston can offer products and services to the car, 4×4, SUV, and agricultural tyre segments, in addition to exhausts, batteries, brakes, wheel alignments, wheel balancing and suspension work.
Bush Tyres have opened a new branch on the Walkerville Industrial Estate in Colburn, Catterick, North Yorkshire. According to the company, the building, which was previously used as an NHS Community Equipment Store, has been fully revamped and equipped to offer a wide range of automotive services to the local community. The new branch will supply and fit car, 4×4, SUV, van, truck and agricultural tyres as well as offering services such as wheel alignments, wheel balancing, exhausts, brakes, suspension, batteries and servicing. The Catterick branch will also offer mobile tyre fitting and on-site farm repairs.
For many children, this week was the first back at school this year. Hull-based Endyke Tyres wanted to celebrate with the children (and no-doubt their parents), so they collaborated with Michelin in the production of some wonderful “tyre art”.
Bush Tyres is set to open three new locations during the next couple of weeks. First off, the company is opening retail centres in Norwich and Immingham. In addition, Bush Tyres has invested in a new 70,000 square foot warehouse as well.
Flawborough Farms has switched its next-generation Horsch sprayer’s original equipment fitments for a set of Michelin high-technology agricultural tyres.
Michelin says Flawborough Farms is “getting the best” from its next-generation Horsch sprayer after switching the original equipment fitments for a set of its AxioBib 2 tyres. The family-run business in Nottinghamshire took delivery of the UK’s first Horsch Leeb 8.300 PT last summer. The sprayer arrived as a prototype from Horsch’s headquarters in Germany fitted with a competitor’s rubber, but Flawborough Farms has since switched to Michelin VF 650/85 R42 AxioBib 2 183D tyres.
B.A Bush & Son (Bush Tyres) has congratulated Ken Nicholson on surpassing 55 years of continued service to the company. Nicholson registered the achievement in January 2020, having worked for four generations of the Bush family, starting with company founder Benjamin Arthur Bush, then his son Ivor Bush, and up to present day directors, Nigel Bush (Ivor’s son) and Nigel’s two sons, Ben and Tom.
