Fairlie brings with him a wealth of tyre industry experience having operated at board level, most recently as managing director of Prometeon (UK) and prior to this as retail and fleet director at ATS Euromaster.

Yokohama’s current managing director, Nick Greenfield will remain with the company to support Fairlie as it continues to grow and strengthen its UK business.

Yokohama said Fairlie and the rest of the management team will work closely to further develop product and customer channels.

It added that this strengthening and restructure will ensure that Yokohama is best placed to achieve its strategy of continuing to grow sales and market share, particularly of Yokohama Advan and Geolandar products which already have a significant presence within the high inch premium segments.
