VELO customers have been promised cost savings following the appointment of Kwik-Fit as the contract hire company's preferred tyre supplier.

The contract is estimated to be worth a million pounds over the next 12 months, and two Kwik-Fit employees will be located at VELO's headquarters in Marlow to handle enquiries and make arrangements.

Mobile units will be part of the scheme to allow tyre replacements to be undertaken at the driver's convenience.
