Community at the core
Community is at the heart of the business. Through our owned brand Davanti Tyres, we have established partnerships with some of the biggest names in sport, right on our doorstep. By proudly sponsoring Wigan Warriors and Everton Football Club, we have built strong community connections among fans and most importantly, we’ve been able to give back to the local people through charitable outreach programmes and CSR initiatives connected to the clubs.
Our charitable contributions also extend out to local grassroot clubs, and initiatives close to the hearts of our staff and customers.
We’re also establishing a community on an international scale, while committing to becoming a more sustainable business. Through environmental organisation Ecologi, we are working to offset our fleet emissions with the ultimate goal of becoming the first climate positive tyre wholesaler.
