The longest serving member of the tyre business?
Ralph Sutton could be the longest serving member of the tyre business in the UK, perhaps even the world. Having just completed 54 years associated with the round black things we all know and love, he is still going strong and rapidly approaching six decades in the business. Sutton’s career started at the beginning of April 1958 and those 54 years certainly represent uncommon loyalty to tyres, but how many more can claim to have been serving the industry almost as long as Queen Elizabeth II has been sat on the throne? And has anyone been serving longer?
