The NTDA has announced a new partnership with tyre management specialists DTM, which will see the Blackpool based company become the headline partner for the 11th NTDA Tyre Industry Conference taking place at the DoubleTree by Hilton Milton Keynes on Thursday 9th October 2025.
Celebrating 20 years in the industry, DTM combines exceptional levels of operational experience and knowledge, with sophisticated customer-led digital resources developed by a large inhouse team. In addition to providing a highly efficient tyre management service, DTM’s award-winning commitment to ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) is setting them apart, supporting customers’ Net Zero goals and creating a culture of carbon reduction which is transformational for our industry.
Commenting on the partnership NTDA CEO Stefan Hay said: “We are very excited by this new partnership. In recent times, DTM has really stepped forward, becoming a genuine catalyst for change in the tyre services industry. The DTM team is demonstrating a strong commitment to ESG, whilst also caring for its people, committing to community engagement and providing an exceptional network service, so we have many synergies and are looking forward to jointly delivering a conference that will provide a genuine and inclusive overview of the many sub-sectors of the UK tyre trade, the challenges they face and, hopefully, providing some solutions on how we can improve things for our members.”
The NTDA has already announced that the theme of the 2025 conference will be ‘State of the UK Tyre Trade’ with presentations from DTM, a tyre manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, specialist OTR tyre provider, and National Highways already confirmed. All speakers will be giving their own specific views and providing insights on topics such as staff recruitment, retention, training, and delivery partnerships, professional standards, and legislation, and much more. As always, the conference will also feature a trade exhibition area with 24 exhibitors from the tyre trade and associated aftermarket.
Leigh Goodland, DTM’s CEO added: “We are delighted to be The NTDA’s partner for this year’s conference. Fleet customers are working hard to be competitive whilst navigating challenges from rising costs, a commitment to compliance and safety, and to achieving Net Zero goals. To support them, our industry must change, and at DTM this technology-led journey has been more than 12- months in the making, with customers and partners seeing the results. We look forward to sharing some of our learnings and hearing from our industry peers at this year’s conference”.
