Another Award for Kwik-Fit Fleet

This is the second accolade for the company this year, having taken first prize in the Fleet Excellence Awards – voted for by the fleet professionals who read Fleet Week and Fleet Management – for an unprecedented 13th year in succession.

This brings the number of awards for Kwik-Fit Fleet to 52 in its 19-year history, but the company is not resting on its laurels, having last year embarked on a multi-million Pound investment programme to update its centres and to further improve staff training and development.

This programme has continued under new owners PAI Partners, alongside a makeover of the 220-strong mobile fleet and new livery. Kwik-Fit Fleet sales director in the UK Nigel Davies said: "Kwik-Fit Fleet continues to go from strength to strength. We have continued to secure a clutch of new contracts with many of Britain’s top contract hire and leasing companies, which means we are servicing more cars and vans than ever before."

The Ohio Tire and Automotive Association (OTAA) held its annual golf outing this year at The Country Club at Muirfield Village, close to the renowned Muirfield Village Golf Club, home of the PGA Tour's Memorial Tournament.

OTAA leadership welcomed around 116 OTAA members and thanked sponsors before teeing off and, following golf, attendees gathered for dinner, drinks and donations. OTAA leadership, including new President Jon Boyd, tire business manager, from Boyd’s Tire and Service, presented a $3,000 donation to the Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation (AACF). OTAA also presented the William Floyd Distinguished Service Award to Tom White, owner of the six-store Tire Source chain based in Canton. White received the honor in recognition of his long-term dedication and contributions to the OTAA board and the broader Ohio tire industry.
