UK's largest independent tyre wholesaler and retailer network
Micheldever operates a dual-channel tyre business (wholesale distribution + 60+ Protyre retail centres) commanding 20% UK market share. The hiring mix is unusually marketing-heavy (28 of 39 open roles) with senior-level emphasis, paired with projects around digital campaigns, search strategy, and omnichannel conversion — indicating a retailer shifting from pure supply dominance toward direct-to-consumer and digital traffic acquisition. Data integration and pricing optimization appear structurally difficult across their fragmented channel footprint.
Micheldever Group is the UK's largest independent tyre wholesaler and retailer, founded in 1972 and now operating at 1,001–5,000 employees. The business operates two main units: Micheldever Tyre Services (MTS), a wholesale and distribution network with 15 sites supplying over 4,500 retailers nationwide; and Protyre, a retail chain of 60+ centres across the UK. The company distributes approximately six million tyres annually. Headquarters are in Winchester, Hampshire; the company is publicly listed.
