Bandvulc supports tyre awareness

Bandvulc is supporting tyre awareness and safety campaigns with one of its key fleet customers.

Fowler Welch has undertaken a National Road Safety Week Campaign to draw to the attention of drivers and operators the importance of tyre safety and how to identify any areas of concern.

“It’s important that all of us in the transport industry recognise that our expensive tractors and trailers only have one contact area with the road surface, and that’s through the tyres; it’s no different to an airline pilot in an Airbus A380 – just as important and necessary. Regular daily checks on the condition of a vehicle’s tyres is an essential part of everyone’s routine”, comments Phil West, Commercial Director, Bandvulc Group.

Both campaigns focus on bringing tyres and their condition to the fore, helping users to spot check and identify any areas of concern. Nick Hay, MD Fowler Welch said, “If just one accident is avoided then all the effort put in to the week will have been worth it, although I do believe the impact to be far greater”.

“The efforts made by Fowler Welch to enhance awareness of tyre condition and to maintain the highest levels of safety for all road users is a vital and worthwhile cause and we are delighted to support this programme”, adds Phil.
