Oak Tyres rolls out new distribution hub

Independent tyre wholesaler, Oak Tyres, continues to strengthen its operational capabilities across the northwest, with the recent opening of a new 90,000ft2 storage and distribution facility in Warrington.

Oak, which has been a key business in the tyre industry and across the region since 1980, said on May 14 the expansion allows the company to grow further, as well as improve service levels and increase stock capacity to better serve its customers.

With the new facility in Warrington — Oak’s seventh warehouse across the northwest, near to its two existing warehouses in Haydock — the tyre brand can boost the efficiency of its deliveries to customers across the whole of the region and beyond, allowing for continued prompt delivery times and increasing overall accessibility to its product range.

Peter Cross, Oak’s commercial director, said: “This expansion is a huge milestone for us, and one that signifies and reinforces our position as a market leader in the tyre industry.

“We know our customers value efficiency, and so this investment not only supports the growth of our brand but also demonstrates our commitment to delivering quality service for our customers.”

Cross said: “The strategic addition to our warehouse network positions us for future growth, ensuring that we continue to meet increasing demand while maintaining the high standards of service and reliability that customers have come to expect.”
