West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Chooses Michelin
West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service has taken advantage of the pan-government tyre framework agreement available to all public sector organisations (PSOs) across the UK by appointing Michelin and ATS Euromaster as its sole tyre and tyre service supplier. Set-up by the Office of Government Commerce (OGC), this tyre sourcing initiative enables West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service to benefit from significant efficiencies as a result of combined volumes, additional leverage and collaborative working between central government departments and wider public bodies nationwide.
Mike Walker, Fleet Controller for West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service, says: “We’ve always fitted Michelin tyres to the fleet, but appointed ATS Euromaster as part of a strategic move to further improve the service standards we receive and to deliver best value. Since ATS Euromaster took over responsibility for supporting our fleet we have seen our average monthly tyre expenditure drop by approximately 20 per cent.
