John McNaught – Managing Director, Bridgestone UK

Before navigating through our site, you should get to know us better. I'm sure you're asking yourself just what Bridgestone UK is all about and what we can do for you. We invite you to find out.

Who are we?
Bridgestone UK is part of Bridgestone Corporation - the biggest tyre and rubber manufacturer in the world – and we sell tyres and other products across the whole of the United Kingdom. Our founder, Mr. Ishibashi, produced his first tyre in Japan in 1930, and Bridgestone and Firestone products were being sold across Europe for many years after that. But it wasn't until 1972 that a full scale UK headquarters was established. Currently, Bridgestone UK employs 410 people in its various sales, technical and administrative departments, with the majority based at its headquarters in Warwick

What is our aim?
This is a very important question, and the answer has stood the test of time. Our founder said it best when he said, “serving society with superior quality”. This motto even today remains the same as our mission, no matter where we are: Japan, the United Kingdom or the rest of the world.

We continue to implement our new principles and guidelines for the Bridgestone Group, which emphasises our core management strategies in the UK and around the world: The Bridgestone Way!

What will you find here?
A lot of information to help you determine what we can do for you. Discover Bridgestone on a national, European and global level in the company section. Read about different product categories and where to find them through the dealer and tyre locator. It's just one example of our commitment to you the customer.
