Bridgestone Named Kwik Fit Supplier of the Year 2024/2025
Bridgestone is celebrating being awarded Supplier of the Year 2024/2025 by Kwik Fit at the KwikFit’s recent annual conference and awards dinner.
The award was presented at Kwik Fit and Tyre Pro’s annual event on May 3rd, attended by more than 1,200 of their senior leaders and centre managers from across the ETEL group.
The award recognises Bridgestone’s consistent delivery of high-quality products, exemplary service, and strong commercial support for Kwik Fit’s and Tyre Pro’s operations across the UK.
“It’s a privilege for Bridgestone to receive this recognition and we were delighted to receive this award,” said Drew Chapman, Consumer Sales Director for Bridgestone North Region. “This acknowledgement reflects the collaborative approach we’ve taken to drive results together, underpinned by our team’s dedication to quality, reliability and long-term value. It is more than a symbol of operational excellence and a powerful endorsement of what Bridgestone stand for; reliability, partnership, and premium quality backed by a committed team.”
The honour recognises Bridgestone’s outstanding support, product quality, and dedication to customer service and was secured amid strong competition from other leading tyre manufacturers.
The award capped off a successful evening for the Bridgestone team, who also showcased its premium tyre range and engaged with hundreds of Kwik Fit centre managers through its stand and supporting activities.
