Tyre fitter Chris Hughes, at Crewe Tyres & Exhaust

A South Cheshire tyre fitter has become one of the first in the UK to graduate from a new national academy.

Chris Hughes, who works at Crewe Tyre & Exhaust, was one of just nine who were the first to become a member of Michelin’s Tyre Academy after a year of training and learning.

The fitters were chosen as they were seen to have the potential to become an expert technician or take on management positions in the future.

During the course, they visited the Michelin factory in Dundee to learn technology that goes into the world renowned tyres which are synonymous with grip and long life.

They also took part in workshops at Michelin’s dedicated training centre, close to the manufacturer’s headquarters in Stoke-on-Trent.

The course finished at Silverstone, where the students test drove Michelin tyres at the Porsche Driving Experience Centre.

Michelin Academy course leader Tom Dixon, said: “We designed it to reward the most promising fitters across our network.

“Ultimately, Michelin produces the highest quality tyres, but it is only through the expertise and skill of tyre fitters that the potential of our products is truly brought to life for our customers.”

Michelin Certified Centres must undergo independents audit to prove they follow best practice.

Chris was eligible for the academy because Crewe Tyre & Exhaust has been recognised as a Michelin Certified Centre.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
