Tyre fitter 'set to drive on' after £500,000 investment

A car repair and tyre-fitting firm says it is in gear for growth following a £500,000 expansion.

NB Tyres has opened Newcastle and Middlesbrough service centres, bolstered its mobile servicing fleet and centralised operations at its Durham head office.

Bosses say the outlay has also created 13 jobs – taking the firm’s workforce beyond 50 – leaving it “well positioned to continue contributing to the regional economy”.

They add the investment has added six fitting vans and a 12-tonne vehicle capable of delivering up to 200 tyres in bulk to customers.

Guy Wilks, director, said: “With our expanded team and fleet, we now have the scale and capability to support every type of customer across the North East.”

James Bowman, fellow director at the business, which is also known as New Bridgegate Tyres, added: “Our investment has been about building the foundations for sustainable growth.

“By expanding our team, fleet and infrastructure, we can operate at a larger scale while maintaining the high service levels customers expect.”

The firm has further service centres in Birtley and Barnard Castle and Newton Aycliffe, both in County Durham.
