<\/p>\nUK-based independent tyre wholesaler, Oak Tyres, is this week celebrating 45 years in business. Based in the North of England, Oak Tyres was started in 1980 as a family-run tyre retail business.<\/p>\n
It has grown over the last 45 years to become a global distributor with seven warehouses, the latest having opened in the last few months in Warrington.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now exclusively home to the Landsail, Delinte, Aptany, Evergreen brands in the UK, as well as Linglong across the UK and Ireland, Oak Tyres has also created and launched its own tyre brands; Davanti, a leading mid-range tyre brand, and this year, Envoy, a value tyre brand with an emphasis on “quality at a great price point”.<\/p>\n
With decades of experience in the tyre sector, Oak’s own tyre brands, Davanti and Envoy, are rigorously tested through a leading research and development process by experienced industry experts, at state-of-the-art production facilities.<\/p>\n
Oak has also recently added specialty tyres to its portfolio and it supplies tyre fitting consumables, such as tyre valves, wheel weights and tyre mounting paste to its network of trusted independent garage owners across the UK and worldwide.<\/p>\n

In its 45 years of business, Oak says it “continues to pride itself on delivering a high standard of customer service to the fast-fit industry. Evolving consumer preferences, technological advancements, and economic factors have shaped the tyre wholesale market, and the brand has maintained pace with changing customer needs”.<\/p>\n

Across 2024, the brand refined the ‘Oak8’ system to integrate more functionality with the new, enhanced B2B platform, Oak Portal. Oak Portal integrates with the current Oak Partnership platform, which allows stockists of Oak\u2019s exclusive brands to order the point of sale and dealer support items they need, and gain access to rewards. This presents a more user-friendly, efficient system for accessing tyres and non-tyre products.<\/p>\n
Peter Cross, commercial director at Oak Tyres, commented: \u201cIn its 45 years, Oak Tyres has achieved an astonishing amount; seven warehouses with over 700,000 sq ft of space, stocking 900,000 tyres across premium, mid-range and budget ranges, and introducing two of our own brands into the market.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhilst we have naturally had to be adaptable over the years to manage industry challenges and ensure continued growth, one thing that has never faltered since our inception in 1980 is our determination to deliver a high-end service to the fast-fit industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a family-run business, these achievements are something we are all incredibly proud of and we want to take this moment to thank everyone who has been a part of our journey. From our Oak family to our loyal customers \u2013 we couldn\u2019t do it without you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
