Independent tyre distributor EG Wholesale has opened a new warehouse facility in East Peckham, Tonbridge, Kent, marking a significant milestone in its expansion strategy.
EG Wholesale, one of the ten members of Grouptyre—the UK's leading independent tyre wholesaler—aims to enhance its service coverage across Kent and Greater London with this new facility.
The family-run business, which has been operating for over 60 years and now involves three generations, includes divisions such as 10 petrol stations, 18 vehicle repair centres, and a commercial rental property business. With the new warehouse, EG Wholesale’s team exceeds 350 members, and their annual turnover surpasses £80 million.
“As a company, we embody Grouptyre’s “National Strength, Local Service” philosophy. We pride ourselves in being a local, independent tyre supplier who delivers the personal touch you would expect from a family business. We had outgrown our current wholesale facilities and this strategic location in East Peckham presented the perfect opportunity to expand our wholesale business throughout Kent and beyond. The new site is in a busy and thriving industrial area, with excellent connections to suppliers and routes across the whole of Kent and into Greater London
Richard Whittemore (Managing Director)
“The new warehouse offers customers a superior delivery service. All our customers receive a daily delivery as a minimum and most receive multiple deliveries per day. Our experienced and friendly sales team is always ready to assist, and customer service is our top priority. Our GroupLink virtual warehouse enables customers to check stock, pricing, and place orders 24/7. Our vans all have a tracking system which also ensures timing and accuracy of deliveries. We’ve already received lots of positive feedback from existing and new customers.”
Andy Mitchell (Sales Manager)
“In addition to superior delivery service, we boast excellent product availability and competitive pricing. Our new warehouse can stock up to 100,000 tyres and offers an extensive range of tyres, including car, van, SUV, 4x4, EV and more. We stock tyres from all major manufacturers, a variety of mid-range brands, alongside Grouptyre exclusive brands iLink, Rapid and Habilead. We’re excited by the increased capacity, improved logistics and streamlined operations that our new facility provides.”
Jack Whittemore (Purchasing Manager)
“East Peckham joins our other existing wholesale hubs in Partridge Green, Portsmouth, Bournemouth, Eastbourne, Isle of Wight, Maidstone, Strood and Canterbury. This expansion marks a significant milestone for us as it enhances the service to our Kent and Greater London customers across a vast range of tyres. The new site gives EG Wholesale increased tyre stock holding capacity and will allow for further choice of product for EG Wholesale’s customer base.”
Nick Stevens (Wholesale Operations Manager)
