About Our People

“We were told of the sale of Harris Brothers one week before the signing of contracts. That week, I believe for us all was a week of un-certainty. Working for a family run business for so long the last thing you want is for some national company to come along and make a load of changes. I think we all had this pre-conception of national company’s being tyrants to work for. This was not the case.
Working for Protyre has opened many doors for me. The company is very keen to coach and enhance staff skills and promote from within. Within 3 years I have progressed from being a Service Manager to Area Manager. If you’re willing to work hard the opportunities are there.
Overall the last three years have been the best of my working life and not many people can say that. This would not have happened had Protyre not acquired Harris Brothers Tyres.”

“Since Tyreland joined the Protyre network we have had nothing but success, we have become an even more professional business and a real force in the market, with the facility’s we can provide and enhanced range of services we can offer.
The other great thing about being part of this company is the opportunities that have arisen for myself and others like me. Thanks to Protyre, I have been able to move forward and have a successful career, one with great opportunities for trips away and that has opened many doors for me.
I believe there is an opportunity for everyone at Protyre.”

“Protyre took us over in 2010, we were a very successful independent garage. There definitely are benefits to being taken over by such a large company as Protyre.
Firstly, we all know about their buying power as they wholesale on a large scale. This gave us a much more competitive edge in the market in which we previously struggled to compete with some of the big boys.
Secondly, at the time of the takeover I had only been in management for less than a year, I was given the chance to be able to grow as a manager with the great support system that Protyre have in place. We were given tools to be able to grow the business; as a result I was able to grow my depot by over 60% in 4 years!

'I started in the industry in 1976 as a receptionist I have always loved working with my colleagues and our customers. I have met many different people over the years and have built up a strong customer base and relationship with them.
I have always made it my goal to know all sides of the business as I felt this way I could achieve my goal to become a Manager and more. I have always been interested in the commercial truck side of the business and I am due to start a new role on the operations side of truck for the north also the roll out of e job sheets. I also help out with acquisitions which involves training on our systems and helping to ease staff transition from one company to another. I feel that working for Protyre can give many opportunities to woman as all roles are accessible to women from apprenticeships to management"
