For over 35 years ETB, a family business, have continued to grow by offering their customers great service and excellent value. A network of 23 branches, open to the public, covers Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, South Wales and most recently a new state-of-the-art branch in Plymouth.
For the trade, strategically situated regional centres in Worcestershire, Wales, Devon, and Cornwall, are able to offer daily or multiple daily deliveries together with a ‘rapid response’ on-demand service. However, ETB pride themselves on being more than just a tyre wholesaler; they are dedicated to creating partnerships through innovative solutions, unrivalled customer service and extensive choice of products.
As a result of the continued growth, ETB needed to increase the storage capacity in the main warehouse at the Head Office in Worcester and create additional office and staff facilities to cater for the growing workforce. It was here, thanks to their excellent reputation within the tyre industry, that Total Interiors were introduced to ETB.
Order picking is a critical part of any successful warehousing and distribution operation, especially around productivity, so the initial project was to double the storage capacity and at the same time improve the layout in the tyre order picking area. With over 150,000 items in stock, from all of the leading brands, ETB now have a more efficient picking operation in place to better serve the network of branches.
Happy with the way in which Total Interiors had managed the car tyre racking project, ETB then discussed their plans to create the additional office space together with the new Tyre and Exhaust Centre which would also be situated within the Head Office building.
