New Name, Same Service

In order to further improve its service, North Eastern Tyres and Exhauts (NETE) has now dedicated a side of its business to exclusively serving trade customers. With the establishment of NE Wholesale the company plans to focus will focus on the distribution side of the business and is looking to provide an “unparalleled level of service.”

NE Wholesale commercial director Gavin Marshall explained how service is ever important in such a rapidly evolving marketplace: “I feel that at NE Wholesale we operate in a completely different way from most of the tyre distribution market. We have worked terrifically hard to retain a low cost base while constantly increasing our levels of service, this means we offer up to 10 times a day delivery at the same levels of cost as some of our so-called larger competitors. The hard work done by our Group Tyre Head Office also allows us to deliver quality [exclusive brands] such as Federal and Maxxis as opposed to a hotchpotch offer of different lower quality options.
