Since 1998 it has operated a dedicated warehouse, logistics and sales operation based on the John F Kennedy Industrial Estate in Dublin.<\/p>\n<p>Over that period of time, but especially in the last three years, trading conditions in the Irish market have changed significantly.<\/p>\n<p>Regrettably, and after much consideration, this situation has led the company to make the difficult but necessary decision to close the KRT warehouse on the John F Kennedy Industrial Estate. This will take place by the end of March this year.<\/p>\n<p>The company will however maintain a dedicated sales presence in Ireland; further details of the new structure will be announced in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>Closure of the warehouse will result in the loss of a number of jobs, but KRT will work with all affected members of staff to assist them in preparing for and seeking alternative employment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIreland will remain an important market for KRT and in future, customers will be supplied through a carefully appointed distributor who shares our customer commitment and service values,\u201d explained KRT Group managing director Adrian Bader.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have many valued and long-standing business partners in Ireland and look forward to continuing to work closely with them to provide the same excellent levels of service that have been a hallmark of our operation for many years. The new arrangements are being finalised and will be shared with all customers when confirmed,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is with regret that we have learned that Kings Road Tyres (KRT) is poised to close its dedicated warehouse, logistics and sales operation based on the John F Kennedy Industrial Estate in Dublin., which opened in 1998.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9565,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[654,1],"tags":[736],"class_list":["post-13371","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-irish-news","category-news","tag-krt"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
