Blackcircles celebrates 25th anniversary
Online tyre retailer Blackcircles is celebrating its 25th anniversary this month.
Founded in 2001 by Mike Welch, the company has grown to become the UK’s leading online tyre retailer with tyre fitting partners across the UK.
It has served over two million customers, sold more than 26 million tyres and has over 2,200 fitting partners UK-wide, with about 95% of the UK’s population now within a six-minute drive of a Blackcircles tyre fitting partner.
In 2015 it was brought by Michelin, providing access to more than 2,000 fitting partners, and last year the company began offering MOT and car servicing alongside tyres.
Ray Kavanagh, CEO of Blackcircles, said: “It is incredible to celebrate such a milestone achievement at Blackcircles.com. In the past 25 years, we have helped millions of customers and earned an average Trustpilot review of 4.6/5 with over 200,000 reviews.
“We have grown exponentially in the 25 years and opened franchises across the UK, as well as in Canada, Egypt, and Italy.
“We’ve got to continue to be the best. We have to continue to have the best website, to offer customers innovation and to give customers the confidence to transact online. Blackcircles.com has plans to continue growing, and I am extremely excited to see what we achieve in the next 25 years.”
