Bridgestone: Tyre Industry Awards pay tribute to ‘giant strides’ made over past 12 months

Company News, Premium, UK News

Back-to-back titles as Tyre Manufacturer of the Year has likely led to back slapping all-round at Bridgestone. The tyre maker was selected ahead of fellow nominees Goodyear Dunlop, Hankook, Michelin, Pirelli and Yokohama to take the award for a second consecutive year at last Thursday’s Tyre Industry Awards, and this victory was further sweetened when Bridgestone scooped the Staff Training & Development Initiative of the Year award.

Bridgestone in a rush to make road safety plea as school bell sounds

UK News

With children going back to the classroom and rush-hour traffic resuming, Bridgestone has urged motorists to take extra care on the school-run. The tyre manufacturer said that the latest TyreSafe research suggests that 10 million vehicles could be driven with at least one tyre under the minimum legal limit of 1.6mm. Coupling this with the new school term and an expected spike in traffic and Bridgestone believes that the time has never been more critical to carry out some simple tyre checks – or even drive to a selected garage to get a professional technician to take a look.

The right direction: Bridgestone North Region MD, Robin Shaw one year on

Career Tracks, Company News, Premium, Product News, UK News

Roughly a year after Tyres & Accessories met Bridgestone North Europe region managing director Robin Shaw, just a few weeks after he took on the role, progress at the Warwick, UK-based part of the global company is said to have been “really good”. More than 12 months after our last interview, Shaw’s perspective on the tyre industry – previously he led Bosch’s UK operations UK – has deepened significantly as has his influence in the industry.

“The direction is good, but we always want to be further on than we are,” Shaw told Tyres & Accessories. Of course when you ask how business is at multi-segmented, multinational like Bridgestone, there is no simple answer to that question. Rather there are multiple variables, the importance of which differs from segment to segment. However, the general synopsis is that all segments are doing well, with some doing particularly well.

Bridgestone has called on the UK Government to implement mandatory fines on motorists who drive with defective or worn tyres.

Winter driving needs appropriate driving – and driver behaviour – says Bridgestone MD

UK News

With the temperatures already plummeting across the UK after a mild winter to date, Bridgestone is urging motorists to take some simple driving tips to stay as safe as possible – with or without a set of winter tyres. A marked drop in temperatures is now already being felt and snow is predicted for parts of the UK, and Bridgestone’s managing director Robin Shaw has thus called on motorists to adopt some simple driving habits to stay as safe as possible.

Change to 4-year MOT will lead to more road casualties, says Bridgestone MD

News

In his position as Bridgestone’s north region managing director, as well as chair of the SMMT Aftermarket Section, Robin Shaw has expressed concern at Chancellor George Osborne’s plans in last month’s Budget to extend the deadline for new cars and motorcycles to be MOT tested after four years instead of three. Shaw believes the added 12 months will result in more cars running on tyres with tread depths below the 1.6mm legal limit.
