Independent Garages And Tyre Dealers To Become Tyre Safety Champions
PR Log (Press Release) –
Feb 24, 2010 – Independent garages and tyre dealers can now demonstrate their support for tyre safety and the welfare of their customers by becoming an official TyreSafe tyre safety champion. As a tyre safety champion garages will receive a promotional pack containing a range of marketing materials that can be used to attract customers into the dealership and then educate them about tyre safety, helping to cut the number of deaths and accidents on the UK’s roads.
“Campaigns such as tyre safety month have received fantastic levels of support from independent garages and tyre dealers across the UK so we know it is an important area for them and their customers,” explains Stuart Jackson, chairman, TyreSafe. “The launch of the new promotional packs and tyre safety champion status will allow garages to show their commitment and concern for the safety of their customers. In addition, it will give them a set of high-quality resources at a low-cost that allows them to develop their own tyre safety campaigns. These can then be integrated into their own marketing plans and run at a time that is convenient to that individual business.”
To receive a promotional pack, garages simply need to visit the TyreSafe website (www.tyresafe.org/tyrechampion) and complete the secure online order form, including payment details to cover the £25 (+VAT) charge. Included within the pack is a tyre safety DVD presented by motoring journalist Quentin Willson which gives advice on how to check tyre tread depth, a selection of tyre safety posters, 50 customer tyre safety information leaflet and an official personalised certificate highlighting the garage’s tyre safety champion status.
When garages order their initial promotional pack, they are also asked to indicate the particular tyre sectors which are relevant to them, such as 4x4, motorcycle or van tyres. By selecting the relevant areas, the champion will then receive notifications about any additional campaigns and promotional packs that are developed for their specific customer type.
“Our latest figures estimate that there could be as many as 3.6 million cars on the UK’s roads with at least one illegal tyre,” continues Jackson. “There is clearly a massive opportunity for independent garages and tyre dealers to help promote important safety messages and educate drivers about the importance of correct tyre care. We believe the promotional packs will be popular and successful with independents and help to reduce the number of people killed or injured on the roads as a result of illegal or defective tyres.”
To find out more or to register for a promotional pack, independent garages and tyre dealers should visit www.tyresafe.org.

Transportation Analyst, Andy Ahern of Ahern & Associates Assists Dependable Highway Express (DHE)
PR Log (Press Release) –
Feb 24, 2010 – Phoenix, AZ— Transportation management and consulting firm, Ahern & Associates has acted for a third time in a management consulting capacity as acquisition advisors to DHE, a division of The Dependable Companies in their latest acquisition of Matheson Fast Freight.
Los Angeles based The Dependable Companies continues its steadfast growth and acquisition strategy by further expanding its LTL capabilities throughout California and Nevada with its eleventh acquisition since 2000. Operating out of Elk Grove, CA, Matheson Fast Freight is one of the west coast’s most respected LTL carriers with several full service terminals located throughout California and Nevada and will be incorporated into The Dependable Companies’ trucking division.
Bringing together The Dependable Companies and Matheson Fast Freight is renowned trucking analyst, Andy Ahern of Ahern & Associates. Working closely with Ron Massman, CEO of The Dependable Companies, Ahern’s duty was to present viable trucking acquisition targets that blend well with The Dependable Companies’ culture while furthering their overall growth strategy.
“We’ve worked with Ahern & Associates on previous acquisition deals and they’ve always done a great job,” explains Massman. “I’ve known Andy for a long time and have an appreciation for the way he operates.”
With over two decades of experience in transportation mergers and acquisitions, Ahern has built an impeccable reputation as the industry’s leading analyst and acquisition specialist. Ahern’s experience has also afforded him the ability to call on a considerable catalogue of contacts which allow him to create markets where none may have previously existed. Many of the prospective targets Ahern locates are often looking for an exit strategy for their trucking or logistics business, but lack the proper planning and strategy needed.
“We really enjoyed working with The Dependable Companies for the third time and are pleased that we were able to present an acquisition target that not only fulfilled Dependable’s needs, but also strengthens the trucking industry as a whole,” explains Andy Ahern, CEO of Ahern & Associates.
The Dependable Companies’ acquisition of Matheson Fast Freight complements the latest trend in trucking which seems to be an industry-wide merging of trucking and logistics companies as the transportation industry further emerges from the recession.
About The Dependable Companies:
Started in 1950, The Dependable Companies has some 36 domestic and international offices ranging from as far afield as Latin America, Australia and throughout the Pacific Rim. It has grown both through internal expansion and acquisitions.

New Research Report: Japan Autos Report Q2 2010
PR Log (Press Release) –
Feb 19, 2010 – Despite the positive effect of government subsidies on Japan's new vehicle sales, BMI has lowered its sales forecast for 2009 to a decline of 11% based on results for the first nine months of the year. Sales fell 15.5% y-o-y, with none of the vehicle segments achieving positive growth. Industry sales totalled 3,404,065, comprising passenger car sales of 2,893,938 units (-14%), truck sales of 500,076 units (- 23.15%), and bus sales of 10,051 (-19.44%). The worst performance came from the standard truck segment, which contracted almost 45%. These results do show a marginal improvement from H109, however, when total sales were down by over 20% y-o-y. Two underlying trends in industry sales became apparent in September. Firstly, government incentives to encourage the purchase of fuel efficient vehicles are paying dividends, and secondly, sales of imported vehicles, even those produced by Japanese carmakers abroad, are on the slide. The Toyota Prius retained its position at the head of the market for the third straight month, while further proof of the impact of tax breaks on hybrid and small fuel efficient cars comes from Honda, which takes second place with its Fit compact and third place with its hybrid rival to the Prius, the Insight. Japan stays in fourth in BMI's Business Environment Ratings for the automotives industry in Asia Pacific, with an overall rating of 61.1 from a possible 100. The risks associated with a developed market still exist, however. Just as Australia and South Korea suffer disadvantages due to their developed statuses, a saturated market also weighs on Japan's ratings. While the country scores well in terms of its country risk, with low levels of corruption and a sound legal framework that have bumped up the market's overall score, the auto industry is nearing full capacity, and this consequently reduces production growth potential, while the high level of vehicle ownership restricts possible sales growth. Labour costs are also high, which adds to the cost of expanding production. Despite, the relatively high ranking data for the first nine months of 2009 show every manufacturer posting a decline in sales compared with the same period of 2008 as the 12 domestic manufacturers registered combined sales of 3.404mn units, down 15.49% y-o-y. This was a marginal improvement on H109, when sales were down by over 20% y-o-y, as August registered the first positive sales growth for 13 months (2.3%). However, by September sales were down again by 3% y-o-y. All but three of the domestic brands recorded a double-digit decline in sales, with Nissan Diesel registering the weakest performance as its sales fell 49.95%, although this again was an improvement from its H109 drop of over 56% y-o-y. Small car specialist Daihatsu Motor was the strongest brand, relatively speaking, as its sales fell just 8.06% y-o-y.

Singapore Airlines Flies High In Global 500…but Other Airline Brands Forced To Make
PR Log (Press Release) –
Feb 17, 2010 – The combined brand value of the world’s top five airline brands has risen by 4.7% over the last year. This has resulted in all but one falling down the table of the world’s most valuable brands, according to the annual Brand Finance Global 500 survey published this week by Brand Finance plc, the world’s leading brand valuation consultancy.
Singapore Airlines, outperforming Lufthansa, American Airlines and Japan Airlines in the annual table, tops the aviation sector in this year’s report, climbing from 246 to be ranked 224, with a 32% increase in brand value from US$2.7 billion to US$3.6 billion.
The only airline introduced in this year’s Global 500 brands league table is Continental Airlines at ranking 477. Between them, Air France, British Airways and United Airlines have dropped by an average of 90 places in this year’s table to 310, 456 and 478 respectively.
Elsewhere in the report, the aerospace sector is dominated in this year’s survey by Boeing, which rose two places to ranking 111 on the back of a 21% increase in brand value. Dutch-owned Airbus climbed twenty places to 352 after itself registering an impressive 44% rise in its brand worth.

Rare and Unique Aston Martin Supercar available for Wedding hire
PR Log (Press Release) –
Feb 04, 2010 – HWS will be offering the Aston Martin within Lancashire, Cheshire, Cumbria and The Lake District.
The specific Aston Martin acquired is one of a kind, based on the original ferrari paint finish with a parchment leather interior.
About the Aston
The Aston Martin DB7 GT was a limited run of only 190 cars worldwide, some 64 were sent off to the USA as Left hand drive models, 40 were sent into Europe 1 for Canada and 1 for Australia leaving 84 for the UK.
Over the years some of these UK cars were exported, probably into private collections as there are now registrations in Japan, Honk Kong and 2 more in the USA.
This now leaves only 80 in the UK and only one GT was ever produced by Aston Martin finished with the Ferrari colour "Canna di Fucile Metallico", adding to this wonderful finish was an uncommon interior with Ivory and dark parchment leather, together these two finishes make this car a true one of a kind anywhere in the world!
Rather than have it wrapped in cotton wool and stored in a private collection HWS has acquired this amazing supercar so that future Bride-to-Be's and their new Husbands can enjoy this fantastic vehicle on their wedding day.
With no finance or lease payment to get in the way HWS can offer some super value rates to match this supercar.
