Bridgestone is providing supported training courses aimed at getting commercial customers back on their feet following lockdown.

By providing the wide range of qualifications, Bridgestone hopes to re-engage with – and empower – technicians and ensure its network of commercial partners provide a premium service when answering fleet calls.
