Jet Wheel Tyre’s Kai Llewellyn wins Autogem’s Under Pressure ’25 top TPMS technician
Autogem has completed the fourth edition of Under Pressure, the UK competition for TPMS technicians to demonstrate excellence in TPMS servicing. The 25 June final was held for the third successive year at the Pirelli Performance Centre in Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire, with 16 finalists demonstrating to judges the superior knowledge, engagement and passion that saw them make it through the heats earlier in the year. Kai Llewellyn, technician at four-branch Essex retailer Jet Wheel Tyre, was crowned the overall winner as well as small retailer winner, while Luke Mills of Merityre (large retailer), and Brajan Szalachta of Eden Tyre Services (under-23) scooped the other awards. Runners-up were Craig Pritchard of Protyre (large retailer), Dave Hare of Markhams Garage (small retailer), and Daniel Webster of Protyre (under-23). Autogem also launched a new award in honour of Autogem business development manager, the late Adam Livett, specifically aimed at the finalist who most impressed in customer engagement; Liam Healy, Protyre centre manager from Stockport won the inaugural Gem of the Year award.
