25th April 2006
Goodyear Dunlop Tyres UK Limited has announced the appointment of Peter Tye as Franchise Development Manager. His new post has been created to spearhead the firm’s recently announced move towards developing franchise opportunities in the vehicle servicing and tyre fitment market.
Goodyear Dunlop are investing in its Hi-Q retail chain, and will complement the core of company owned stores with a re-launched network of franchises. This follows the company's decision to separate the Hi-Q and Truck Force businesses into two distinct business units. In addition to developing the Hi-Q Franchise programme, Peter will lead the development of partnership opportunities for independent tyre dealers under the ‘Goodyear Dunlop Dealer Partner’ banner.
