Logistics operator Downton Haulage has awarded a five-year deal to Bridgestone, citing its Total Tyre Care package as a major factor in the decision.
The new pence-per-kilometre contract is an extension of Downton’s 10-year relationship with the tyre manufacturer, and promises to deliver more miles on the road per tyre.
Total Tyre Care is built around three core elements: Total Tyre Life, for new tyres; Total Tyre Services, for maintenance and Europe-wide assistance; and Total Tyre Systems, covering tyre condition with bespoke reports, inspection tools and tyre pressure monitoring systems.
Richard Downton (pictured, left, with Bridgestone’s commercial sales director Greg Ward) says: “We are delighted that this partnership is proving so beneficial for us and it was an easy decision for us to make in the end.
“Our ongoing relationship with Bridgestone is helping us to raise industry standards and we look forward to building on this joint collaboration.”
