Continental Tyres Ireland is marking a decade of partnership with Blood Bikes Leinster, the volunteer\u2011run charity that provides a not-for-profit, rapid\u2011response medical transport service across the region.<\/p>\n

For the last 10 years, Continental has been the official support vehicle tyre partner, supplying premium tyres that help keep the Blood Bike Leinster\u2019s fleet of cars and vans on the road in all conditions.<\/p>\n

Blood Bike Leinster\u2019s team of dedicated volunteer riders and drivers clock up between 60,000 and 70,000 kilometres annually, delivering blood, human donor breast milk, cancer medications, and other time\u2011critical medical supplies to hospitals and medical centres. Their work ensures ambulances and Garda vehicles remain available for frontline emergencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cVolunteers are the heartbeat of Blood Bikes,\u201d said Tom Dennigan, head of Continental Tyres Ireland. \u201cThey give their time freely, often in challenging weather, to deliver a truly life\u2011saving service. We\u2019re honoured to mark 10 years of support for them with tyres they can depend on, like our AllSeasonContact range, which offers outstanding performance in Ireland\u2019s varied climate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the demand for Blood Bikes\u2019 services continues to grow, Continental Tyres remains committed to supporting the volunteers who keep this life\u2011saving operation moving \u2013 here\u2019s to the next 10 years of partnership,\u201d concluded Dennigan.<\/p>\n

Fergus Lennon, regional coordinator of Blood Bike Leinster, said: \u201cWe are delighted to be celebrating 10 years of partnership with Tom and the Continental Tyres Ireland team. Without the support of companies like Continental, we would not be able to operate, it\u2019s as simple as that.<\/p>\n

“And thanks to the tyre support partnership, we are able to meet our safety commitments to our volunteers. It is a key priority in everything we do and when you consider the mileage that our volunteers put up each year, it is comforting to know that they are on safe, premium tyres that will help to get them to their destination safely and on time.”<\/p>\n

The latest set of Continental AllSeasonContact tyres fitted to the charity\u2019s Skoda support vehicle is expected to deliver another 60,000+ kilometres of safe, reliable service. These tyres are engineered for optimal grip and handling in summer heat, heavy rain, and mild winter conditions \u2013 vital for time\u2011sensitive deliveries.<\/p>\n

Over the past decade, the partnership has seen the Blood Bike Leinster fleet equipped with Continental\u2019s award\u2011winning tyres, including four-wheel drive models that proved invaluable during severe weather events such as the \u2018Beast from the East\u2019 in 2018.<\/p>\n

The collaboration has also supported the charity\u2019s critical role during the Covid\u201119 pandemic, transporting test samples and vaccines across Leinster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
