TCH Leasing has signed a sole supplier agreement with Kal Tire to provide and manage its entire fleet of vehicles in the UK.

Kal Tire provides full tyre management services to the open cast coal industry in England and has recently expanded its service to other industries including quarrying, waste and port handling.

It operates a fleet of large-tyre fitting trucks that are on call to service customers anywhere in the UK, alongside a car fleet.

TCH Leasing was chosen as fleet management provider to provide and manage Kal Tire’s fleet of vehicles on a contract hire basis. Before partnering with TCH Leasing, Kal Tire used an ‘outright purchase’ solution to obtain company vehicles.

Mark Lee, transport & asset maintenance manager for Europe and Africa at Kal Tire (pictured left) said: “We appointed TCH Leasing as they have a proven track record of assisting businesses like ourselves who are new to contract hire with implementing the solution for the provision and management of our fleet of company vehicles.”

“The partnership with Kal Tire is a further endorsement of the strength of TCH Leasing in having the ability to deliver a business like Kal Tire a robust contract hire solution. We have no doubt that Kal Tire will experience the benefits provided by TCH Leasing as a result of making the transition away from the outright purchase model," added Mark Hammond, managing director of TCH Leasing.
