Five TIP branches become Wabco service partners 01 March 2013

Five TIP Trailer Services branches have become approved Wabco service partners in the UK, and, later this year, the deal is expected to extend across other TIP operations throughout Europe.

TIP's branches in Manchester, Newcastle, Nuneaton, Felixstowe and Grays are now part of the Wabco service partner network, which covers 2,000 approved organisations worldwide looking after commercial vehicles.

"This development is part of an emerging relationship with Wabco that goes back five years," comments Karl Davies, services and marketing director at TIP Trailer Services.

"Trailer braking systems have developed substantially in recent years, and the need to keep up to speed on new technology is essential, especially in relation to the current changes and effects of Whole Vehicle Type Approval."

As part of the service partner agreement, all technicians at the five TIP branches have been through formal training programmes undertaken by Wabco and co-ordinated through TIP's UK maintenance leader Dave Parr.

"In recent years, TIP has developed into a fully-integrated maintenance services company and, to maintain our market leading position, we need to widen the range of skills available to customers," comments Davies.

"Working closely with companies such as Wabco differentiates TIP from other trailer service companies."
