Tyre fitting giant Kwik-Fit has won a three-year exclusive contract to maintain British Gas’ 10,000-strong fleet.

The new deal will follow on immediately after a similar 12-month contract awarded last year.

The fast-fit firm will carry out essential tyre safety checks supported by its 675-strong tyre centres, network of 200 mobile units and 24-hour driver helpline.

Kwik-Fit will also capture all maintenance history by vehicle registration and report it directly to the utility company.
