Truck service hub to openÂ

Goodyear Tyres is opening a new base of operations in Southampton for its 24-hour commercial support network called TruckForce. 

TruckForce offers crucial truck tyre servicing and breakdown assistance throughout the UK.

Servicing vehicles in the Southampton, Portsmouth, Andover and Salisbury areas, the new operation will open with six vans and technicians, with plans to expand this department in the coming months.

Chris Suttle, regional manager, said: '˜Our new location is an exciting embodiment of the success and growth that we have achieved to date, and we are immensely proud of the journey that we have been on so far.' 

The hub is the first new TruckForce location since 2006, adding to the group's 12 existing UK service hubs.
