Grouptyre subcontracts Tyrespot to provide north-east service
Grouptyre has announced that it will subcontract its wholesale distribution operation in the north-east of England to wholesaler-retailer Tyrespot, taking the place of North Eastern Tyre & Exhausts (NETE), which departed the network of independent wholesalers last year when it was sold to Stapleton’s. Tyrespot, based in Chester-le-Street, County Durham, operates its wholesale operation from four locations in the region, with a stockholding capacity of more than 60,000 tyres, covering premium, mid-range and budget brands. Grouptyre’s managing director Karl Naylor states that the partnership will reaffirm the wholesaler’s presence across the region.
