North Eastern Tyre and Exhausts (NETE), is investing £2 million into its wholesale division, NE Wholesale, in a bid to offer the market close to quarter of a million tyres, spanning thousands of product lines.

NETE has acquired a 69,000sq-ft warehouse in Stockton, almost the size of two football pitches.

Tim Darcy, general operations and logistics manager for NE Wholesale, the wholesale division of NETE which operates five outlets across the North East and Yorkshire, said: “The acquisition of this massive storage space is in addition to our current NE Wholesale storage sites, and is a strategic move in NETE’s growth plans.

"We are now able to work even closer with our wholesale customers and offer an incredible range of tyres we now have at our fingertips, all with a substantially decreased delivery time.”
