Safety Beyond Tyres

Goodyear joins forces with Flood Rescue Team

As part of their ongoing commitment to safety in the wet, Goodyear has decided to take it's partnership with the RNLI a step further by sponsoring its life saving service - the Flood Rescue Team (FRT).

The RNLI's Flood Rescue Team is a uniquely trained arm of the RNLI, able to operate worldwide to assist in rescues in flood hit areas. Having raised money for the charity in the past through tyre sales, Goodyear is extremely pleased to be taking the relationship a step further by helping to fund specialist training and equipment.

Brand Manager Michelle Fisher said: "Through our previous fundraising for the RNLI we learned about the inland work carried out by the Flood Rescue Team, and the amazing help that they have given so many people in areas that you wouldn't necessarily think could be affected by such dangers.

"There is great synergy between our organisations due to our own commitment to safety - our wet weather specialist tyres are designed to help keep people safe in wet conditions, the very thing that RNLI volunteers do at sea around the coasts of the UK every day".

Michelle continued: "We are very keen that our sponsorship of the RNLI Flood Rescue Team be just the beginning, and hope that people involved with Goodyear at all levels will really get behind the RNLI and make this a massive success."
