Van Driver jobs in Huyton

Oak Tyres UK Ltd is the industry leader in supplying the fast-fit industry with a comprehensive range of tyres and associated products.

Established in 1980, the company has grown rapidly over recent years with around 350 staff and turnover in excess of £180 million. Since 2015, Oak has opened two new major distribution hubs as part of its ambitious and on-going expansion strategy, extending their service from the North-West alone to now cover the whole of the Northern region.

Oak Tyres grew into one of the UK’s leading tyre suppliers but its owners realised tyres did not need gimmicks or slogans, they needed to be designed smarter. Davanti is our subsidiary UK-based company which launched its first tyre in 2015. It was created as a stand-alone private brand by the directors of UK wholesale tyre distributor. Today, it sells more than 700,000 tyres in the UK annually and has created a global dealer network across 45 countries and four continents.

Davanti blended Oak’s knowledge and experience with cutting-edge design, testing methodology and Industry 4.0 manufacturing processes to create the only brand wholly-owned and developed by a major UK distributor.

Today it has a dealer network across 45 countries and growing and its product range has expanded to include specialist SUV, All-Terrain, UHP, small passenger car, run flat, van and black cab tyres. Davanti also boasts a selection of high-profile partnerships, most noticeably being the official tyre partner for Premier League side Everton Football club, and the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve (AIA) Racing School in Portugal.
