On 30 June Universal Tyres acquired Jetyres. The deal, which was six months in the making, sees Universal add Jetyres’ four retail branches to the company’s existing portfolio of 12 tyre retail locations. With a combined total of 16 points of sale, Universal looks likely re-enter the UK top 20 in 2017 as a result of the transaction. No details of the levels of investment connected to Universal’s purchase of Jetyres have been released.
