Shropshire tyre wholesaler, TIA Group, celebrates the company’s 25th anniversary next month, marking a quarter of a century of worldwide tyre trade. The international conglomerate, based in Telford, started out in 1999 under the name Treadsetters. Since then, TIA has established close relationships with both its growing customer base and international suppliers.
Treadsetters, part of the TIA Group of companies, has named Craig Holdsworth as sales manager. Holdsworth will be focusing on the development and implementation of the company’s strategy for new and existing dealerships in its OTR/agricultural product range, working closely with the head office sales and marketing teams.
Apollo Vredestein’s UK subsidiary has chosen Treadsetters to handle the sale and distribution of its Apollo truck and bus tyre range across England, Scotland and Wales. Apollo’s debut in Europe’s competitive TBR tyre segment was barely one year ago. The new distribution arrangement represents a change in strategy; the manufacturer had initially said the brand would be available directly from Apollo through an e-commerce system. Apollo Vredestein states the decision to partner with Treadsetters will aid in achieving the tyre manufacturer’s strategy of rapid TBR growth by combining its product range with a highly efficient and experienced distribution partner in the UK.

But with business on the up at Covpress, could a deflated Chinese tyre business be behind the news?
