from a family-owned business, alongside introducing new people, developments and investments has been crucial to fostering 75 years of success.“ We continually strive to be adaptable, which means thinking outside the box and undertaking a lot of predictive analysis in terms of how long tires are going to last for our customers,” Jorge elaborates.“ Our understanding is that the moment you stop growing, you start dying. We’ ve been growing for the last five years, and we’ ve implemented several positive changes, so 2026 is going to be time for consolidation. We will be focusing more carefully on costs, which have been challenging over the past couple of years with the increase in minimum wage and national insurance, alongside massive inflation. The cost of doing business in the UK is increasing dramatically and we need to look at where and how we spend money, and ultimately how we can get the best value for our customers.
Organic growth
“ As a small to medium enterprise, we are extremely dynamic but there is always room for improvement,” he concludes.“ Looking ahead to the next five years, we plan on becoming more structured, while continuing to engage as much as we can with our suppliers, customers, and employees. It’ s important that we listen to what people have to say. I’ d also like to see the business expand vertically and horizontally through acquisitions – we want to start exploring the bus and coach sector, as there aren’ t many key players in that particular field, so we see a big opportunity there. We are very excited about the next couple of years. I think we have a lot of plans in the pipeline.” ■
