Bond International supplied a local emergency food bank with a driver and van as lockdown started, and set up a scheme to enable its customers to offer discounts on tyres to key workers. It has sold tyres wholesale since 1966 from its headquarters in Pocklington, near York. Today, the firm’s five nationwide distribution centres and fleet of delivery vehicles supply more than four million tyres a year. The group is led by founder and chairman Reg Bond, 77, and sons Charlie, 39, and Greg, 48.
