During 2005 many companies supplied Royal Mail with their tyre sealant in small trialquantities for them to test, however at the conclusion of these trials Puncturesafe UK was awarded a contract to supply Royal Mail with permanent puncture prevention treatment throughout the UK and Northern Ireland - testament to both the consistently high performance and cost-effectiveness of Puncturesafe.

Some companies had offered their tyre sealant at very low prices and Royal Mail experienced some major problems with one of these sealants supplied by another manufacturer who initially joined us in a dual supply contract.  As problems occurred over time with the cheaper sealant, the dual supply contract was quickly changed to an “exclusive contract” for Puncturesafe UK. 

At the end of the initial first year contract it was proven to all concerned that cost cutting is not a wise option - in this day and age we only get what we pay for - and indeed sometimes we don’t even get that.  Our closely guarded manufacturing process produces a unique world class product, so Puncturesafe worked continuously and over time did not cause any issues in the very hot and hostile environment inside the tyres of Royal Mail’s high speed vehicles.

In March 2007, the Royal Mail supply chain buyer informed us that Puncturesafe was very beneficial and successful because downtime from tyre related problems had been significantly reduced.  He also stated that service levels from Puncturesafe UK had been excellent and very professional.

Jeremy Smith heard about a new puncture prevention treatment, he realised there was a hole in the market... and he was the man to fill it! Puncturesafe UK uses a special polymer to give a permanent seal to a tyre to prevent punctures.

 “I was a director in a direct sales business but Puncturesafe offered a chance to get into a business I believed in and saw plenty of potential for,” said Jeremy, 38, from Richmond, North York's.

 He became one of the first Puncturesafe franchisees when he bought the distribution rights for East Yorkshire in April and is now busy building up business across the north of England.  “It’s a very simple product and the firm offered excellent technical support to back me up. I’m building up a good client base in car and motorcycle dealers, garages, and caravan and motor home business,” he said.  Investing in Puncturesafe takes an initial £3,500 to buy territorial rights, but anyone thinking of setting up as a distributor will need extra cash to cover setting up costs of any normal business.

However, there’s no need to buy expensive premises as the key is to be able to go out and sell the treatment.  “My background in sales has helped me tremendously,” said Jeremy, who reckons someone working hard at the business could earn around £60,000 in a year.

He said one of the system’s key advantages is that there is nothing else like it on the market - so there is no direct competition to worry about. “But the key

is to know how to organise yourself and be prepared to work hard,” he said.   “The company provides the technical support but you have to put the work in.”
