<\/p>\nTyre manufacturer Michelin has secured top honours at the 2014 TyreSafe awards, winning the \u2018Outstanding Contribution\u2019 award in recognition of its long term commitment and innovation in raising awareness about tyre safety issues.<\/p>\n
In recent years, the company has rolled out a number of successful tyre safety education programmes including its puppet road show events for young drivers, which have been seen by more than 11,000 young people and its Fill Up With Air road shows, which have examined more than 10,000 cars at 350 events over the last ten years.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cMichelin was one of the founder members of TyreSafe back in 2006 and has continued to demonstrate an unwavering commitment to our cause,\u201d comments Stuart Jackson, chairman TyreSafe. \u201cIt\u2019s entry into this year\u2019s awards reflected the company\u2019s ongoing dedication and creativity, and it\u2019s therefore with great delight that we can present them with our 2014 \u2018Outstanding Contribution\u2019 award.\u201d<\/p>\n
In TyreSafe\u2019s most active and successful year to date, a further eight awards were bestowed on organisations from a wide range of industry sectors, reflecting the organisation\u2019s ever-expanding member base. Indeed, TyreSafe now boasts more than 80 members and supporters who have helped the organisation reduce the number of tyre related casualties in the UK by 38 per cent since its inception.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe quality of the entries submitted into this year\u2019s awards was absolutely fantastic and made the judging process a real challenge,\u201d added Jackson. \u201cFrom global vehicle manufacturers through to independent workshops, there has been an amazing range of activities carried out by our members and supporters throughout the year. I\u2019d like to thank everyone for their ongoing support and efforts and we look forward to creating even more awareness about tyre safety issues in 2015.\u201d<\/p>\n
