Continental today announced that the truck tyre service provider, Commercial Tyres, has joined the ContiNetwork and has branded their entire fleet of breakdown vans with the ContiNetwork logo to mark the news.

As a new ContiNetwork Partner, Commercial Tyres joins a nationwide network of the best independent truck tyre dealers. They provide local, regional and national fleets with individually tailored tyre management services and rapid-response tyre breakdown assistance. Backed by Continental, the ContiNetwork gives fleet operators access to more than 200 truck tyre service locations and a fleet of over 500 mobile service vans, operating across mainland UK and Northern Ireland.

ContiNetwork membership gives Commercial Tyres exclusive territories - covering parts of East and West Sussex, Kent, South Surrey and South East London - to provide expert service to Continental's growing base of national and regional truck fleet customers. Commercial Tyres, who have always been a stronger supporter of the Continental truck tyre range, will also be using its ContiNetwork Partner status to grow its own base of local fleet customers.

Commercial's decision to have their entire fleet of 17 breakdown vehicles liveried with the ContiNetwork logo will ensure that everyone is aware of their membership and pride at being part of the group. Continental paid for the branding to welcome the company to the network.

Commercial Tyres is a privately owned business formed in 1976 by Paul Kuske, Managing Director. The business has a strong reputation for service and has built up an impressive customer base through offering comprehensive fleet management and 24-7 / 365 days a year breakdown cover.
