BAB Distribution, the dedicated tyre distribution arm of B A Bush & Sons Ltd, has reached an impressive milestone in 2024 by becoming the UK’s largest stockist of Michelin and Kleber agricultural tyres. With an inventory exceeding 2,000 units, BAB Distribution has firmly established itself as a major player in the agricultural tyre market, supporting farmers and agricultural professionals nationwide with its extensive stock and rapid delivery capabilities.
Founded in 1994 by Brian Cooper, BAB Distribution has grown steadily, continually expanding its footprint in the UK. As a Michelin Excel Agri dealer and a Michelin wholesale partner, BAB now services the entire country, offering a wide range of agricultural and plant tyres. By operating multiple warehouses strategically located across the UK, BAB Distribution ensures efficient delivery times for dealerships, as stock is dispatched from the nearest warehouse to reduce wait times.
To keep pace with rising demand, BAB Distribution holds a formidable inventory: over 150,000 car tyres, more than 20,000 agricultural tyres, and 20,000 commercial tyres. Their extensive portfolio also includes the exclusive distribution of Ascenso Tyres, an innovative brand from Indian tyre experts Ashok and Yogesh Mahansaria, which has quickly gained traction among the UK’s largest farms. A dedicated sales team of six further supports the rapid uptake of Ascenso Tyres, enhancing BAB’s footprint in the agricultural sector.
In addition to Michelin and Kleber, BAB Distribution stocks other premium brands like Trelleborg, Bridgestone, Galaxy Turf, Mitas, Kabat, and Vredestein. This diverse offering, combined with their specialist OE2 and wheel division that caters to technical enquiries, underscores BAB’s strength as a comprehensive supplier for a variety of tyre and wheel solutions.
With 2025 on the horizon, BAB Distribution is already gearing up for further expansion. The introduction of a new commercial tyre brand to the UK market and increased warehousing capacity will reinforce BAB’s position as the leading distributor of Michelin and Kleber agricultural tyres. This growth strategy will enable the company to continue meeting the needs of dealerships and end-users with a diverse selection of top-quality products.
As BAB Distribution marks its 30th year of operation, this recent achievement reflects the hard work and dedication of its team and solidifies the company’s reputation as a trusted and reliable leader within the UK tyre industry.
