A LILLYHALL business was delighted to be selected to host a VX-Tractor tyre day as part of a product launch from Bridgestone.

The company called in to Gates Tyres at Lillyhall, Workington, to deliver product information on the benefits of their tyres as part of a Scotland to Devon journey.

Gates Tyres and Bridgestone each provided £200 which was given to both the Great North Air Ambulance and National Federation of Young Farmers.

A spokesperson for Gates tyres said: “We were pleased to be selected and would like to thank Bridgestone for making this possible and to educate the young farmers on the correct method of using tractor tyres.

“The day included top tips such as altering pressures on the tyres to protect the land and economy, weighing of the tractor and special discounts for new and existing customers on our Bridgestone products.”
