A MICHELDEVER business is close to agreeing a new deal to distribute tyres throughout Britain.

Micheldever Tyre Services has signed an agreement with Kumho Tyre with a view to concluding a three-year deal to retain distribution rights.

At the signing Paul Fox, MTS chief executive, said: “We are delighted to be extending our partnership with Kumho Tyres. We will now be forging ahead with our joint plans to develop the network which is already the strongest of its kind in the UK, marketing what is arguably the best all-round brand programme in Kumho.”

MTS will continue to supply the ECSTA Performance Centre (EPC) network of independent retailers as well as its other key accounts.

KTUK managing director KM Choe added: “Over the last few months our two organisations have created a unique platform which allows us both to work together to expand and enhance the presence of the Kumho brand in the UK market.”
