Since Noel\u2019s arrival, his expertise has helped in the growth of Midland Tyres over the past two years and following this period, he approached current owners Mark Kane and Kevin Nolan in an effort to acquire 100 per cent of the share capital.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Noel has strengthened the management team with the addition of new Directors Manjt Gill, Chief Finance Officer (CFO) and Chris Parle, Operations Officer to MTS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>MTS has continued to grow year on year and now employs in excess of 26 staff at HQ in Borris in Ossory, Co.

MTS also plans to further expand its breakdown fleet and staff numbers to meet the growing demand for its services from its loyal customer base.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Noel Kingston the new MD of Midland Tyres commented: \u201cWe acquired MTS because it was a successful and well-managed business built up by Mark and Kevin. We saw an opportunity to take the business to the next level, to invest and grow the business further. Our success is based on the dedication, experience and hard work of our staff in delivering unrivalled service to our valued customers. Our team deliver a\u00a0fantastic 24\/7 service to our valued customers, regardless of weather conditions or location in Ireland or further afield.\u00a0\u00a0We have a fleet of over 18 fully kitted mobile units that attend to close to 6,000 Emergency Roadside Breakdowns each year throughout the 32 counties of Ireland.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Midland Tyre Services (MTS) the commercial tyre dealer to both the trade and end users has been acquired in a shareholder buy-out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":22493,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[654,1],"tags":[977],"class_list":["post-22492","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-irish-news","category-news","tag-midland-tyre-services"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
