GB Tyres has seen consecutive years of growth in turnover and customer demand that means they have all but outgrown their existing locations.
Despite an existing storage space of approximately 250,000 square feet across two large sites in the Midlands, the business found itself in need of a lot more space.
The continued increase in demand from their growing customer base across commercial vehicle tyres, passenger car tyres, agricultural and OTR products means the number of tyres being handled on a weekly basis has increased.
Now they have formally completed the purchase of land at the back of the existing Oldbury warehouse. Building works have already begun and are progressing to create a brand-new storage and distribution facility.
It will more than double the existing storage capacity in Oldbury, bringing the business to a total of 350,000 square feet at this location alone. Combined with existing storage in Tipton the business reaches 450,000 square feet of total tyre storage capacity.
The new build at Oldbury will also incorporate brand new office space and customer hospitality areas and become the new official head office once completed in 2024. The existing warehouse in Oldbury will also undergo a significant refurbishment in order to update the facility and bring further efficiencies to the storage and logistics operation.
With the work completed, stocks will be in the region of 550,000 passenger car tyres, 90,000 truck tyres and 3,500 agricultural and OTR tyres.
Managing director Sukhi Singh said: "We are very excited to share news of this new facility with everything now rubber stamped and building work already in progress. It will allow us to further Improve the service and range of quality products we can provide to our valued customers."
