An innovative mobile tyre fitting business has opened a new Midlands depot in Oldbury.
TyresOnTheDrive has taken a 13,112 sq ft warehouse located on Pearsall Drive in Oldbury on a 10 year lease. DTZ advised the landlord, GAP Properties whilst Cushman & Wakefield advised TyresOntheDrive.
Launched in 2011, TyresOntheDrive offers a 7- day mobile tyre fitting service which brings the garage to the customer, be it at home or at work. The unit will operate as the company’s Midlands distribution centre and includes an integrated two storey office accommodation, external parking and a yard.
Using state-of-the-art mobile units, TyresOnTheDrive offers an online booking service and a highly competitive pricing model.
John Sambrooks of DTZ’s Industrial agency team in Birmingham, commented: “This is a great move for TyresOnTheDrive and its growing customer base and means they can now offer coverage across Birmingham and the Black Country. We received considerable interest in the unit given its strong transport links to the M5 and M6 and the large secure yard which was a particular benefit to TyresOntheDrive as a growing business.”
Dominic Clark, CEO at TyresOnTheDrive, commented: “The opening of a new hub in Oldbury plays an important role in our plans for continued growth throughout the UK, aiming to raise industry standards for the UK motorists via our fleet of mobile tyre fitting units to every home in the UK by the end of 2015. The central location and impressive road network this new site offers will allow us to run a more cost effective and efficient service, ultimately keeping our costs down for the consumer.”
