Solideal UK, a tyre manufacturer and supplier, has marked its
20th year anniversary by opening a service centre in Birmingham,
the company's fifteenth outlet.
Hoping to tap into a wealth of opportunity in the area, Solideal
UK, which specialises in tyres for fork lift trucks, has recently
signed a three-year lease for a 1,626 sq ft unit on SEGRO's Kings
Norton Business Centre (KNBC).
As part of a global company, Solideal has been manufacturing,
supplying and fitting tyres since 1991, but the service centres
were only introduced to the UK market two years ago. Since then,
the outlets have been in rapid growth, with fifteen in total now
operating across the country.
Jane Leedham, leasing manager for SEGRO, said: "Given the
current economic climate, it is encouraging to see successful
businesses continue to reach important milestones and expand into
new locations. We are pleased that the company's 20th year was
honoured with a service centre on KNBC."
Jimmy Quinn, Group Operations Manager of Solideal UK, said: "The
new service centre is in an ideal spot as it is centrally located
and within easy reach of all local motorways, such as the M5, M42,
M40 and M6. We also have a lot of customers on KNBC, so it's easier
for us to service them as they are right on our doorstep.
Solideal UK service centres offer on-site tyre fitting services
for clients such as Toyota, Still and Crown.
Kings Norton Business Centre is the premier Business Centre in
south Birmingham, meeting the business space needs of a diverse
range of companies. Located on a 24.3 hectare (60 acre) site, its
local management team is able to cater for the needs of the
occupiers from its on-site regional office. The estate is
maintained on a structured basis providing a first class business
and working environment, with tenants benefiting from 24-hour
mobile security, CCTV coverage and consequential low crime
rates.
