there’s also a focus on Delphi’s advanced<br />
driver assistance system (ADAS), electric<br />
vehicle (EV), and F-Gas training courses.<br />
“Everyone that’s engaged with Delphi<br />
has been blown away by the quality of<br />
training,” said Stan. “<strong>The</strong>re isn’t anybody<br />
else in the UK that can provide this level of<br />
training – Delphi is at the forefront.”<br />
Protyre leverages Delphi Academy’s<br />
e-learning platform, which offers over<br />
300 interactive modules to enhance the<br />
learning experience through technical<br />
articles, videos, and simulations.<br />
<strong>The</strong> partnership has significantly<br />
diversified Protyre’s service offerings. Since<br />
collaborating with Delphi, general servicing<br />
and repair work now represents 40 per<br />
cent of Protyre’s operations – a substantial<br />
increase from 15 per cent in 2018.<br />
“Despite traditionally being a tyre<br />
business, we’re very forward-looking and<br />
have expanded our offer to a full range<br />
of autocare services,” said Stan. “We’ve<br />
trained all our service technicians to IMIlevel<br />
EV standards. It means that as our<br />
loyal customers begin to make the switch<br />
to EV, we’ll continue to have the skills and<br />
expertise needed to meet their demands.<br />
Looking further ahead still, we’re well<br />
placed to benefit from Delphi’s new<br />
hydrogen training too.”<br />
Protyre dates back to the 1970’s when<br />
parent company, Micheldever Group,<br />
first opened a garage in Winchester.<br />
Micheldever went on to become one of<br />
the largest independent tyre wholesalers<br />
in the UK, today selling seven million tyres<br />
nationwide. An acquisition by Sumitomo<br />
Rubber Industries (SRI) in 2017 brought<br />
accelerated growth for Micheldever<br />
Group’s retail brand, Protyre.<br />
