Enniskillen tyre firm acquired by Kerr’s Tyres & Auto

ANTRIM-based tyre management specialists Kerr’s Tyres & Auto has paid an undisclosed sum to acquire M&S Tyres in Enniskillen, which has been trading for more than 30 years.

Kerr’s says it believes the acquisition will further strengthen its regional coverage.

The current M&S staff have been retained and the new owners are recruiting further so customer service in the region can be maintained and further services introduced.

Kerr’s managing director Norman Kerr said “There were a number of compelling reasons to complete this transaction. We are a family-run business as was M&S Tyres.

"This not only strengthens our footprint across Northern Ireland, but it broadens our service offering, helping to diversify the business and build on its success achieved to date.

"The sector offers opportunities for consolidation and we will be looking carefully at how we can continue to grow Kerr’s Tyres & Auto.”
