Description

Tyre retailer Kwik Fit is set to open its new £10m distribution centre later this month. The centre has created 200 new jobs. The centre will store tyres for distribution across the network of Kwik Fit outlets, and will also store and shred used tyres. The company announced that the site was chosen for its central location, proximity to a large number of major road networks and experienced talent pool.
