unlop Tyres South Africa honoured its top
performing independent franchise owners
at the recent Dunlop Dealer of the Year 2022
Awards. The prestigious annual awards ceremony
celebrated product and service excellence in Dun-
lop’s four tyre retail categories serving unique areas
of the market.
The largest and most hotly contested contest
is always the Dunlop Zone category, which is a top
end fitment centre that provides the consumer with
a multi-branded tyre offering and a range of tyre
services. Top honours in the Dunlop Zone National
Awards went to Renata Tyres in Randfontein which
clinched the Dunlop Zone Diamond Dealer of the
Year 2022 award, followed by Trevor’s Wheel & Tyre
in Kimberley, which took the Dunlop Zone Platinum
Dealer of the Year 2022 award, and Stoney’s Wheel
and Tyre in Bloemfontein who scooped the Gold
award in this category. Dunlop Zone Newcomer of
the Year 2022 was Trophy Tyres in Letsitele.
Regional Dealer of the Year winners in the Dun-
lop Zone category were included Dunlop Zone New
Germany Tyre, Exhaust & Garage (Gold), Dunlop
Zone Plettenberg Bay, Eastern Cape Tyres in King
William’s Town (Platinum), Autospeed Blackheath
(Gold) and Goodhope Tyres (Diamond), AST Tyres
(Gold) and Renata Tyres Randfontein (Diamond),
Dunlop Zone Hoedspruit (Gold) and Hardie Tyre Ser-
vices in Ermelo (Platinum), Stoney’s Wheel and Tyre
in Bloemfontein (Gold) and Trevor’s Wheel & Tyre in
Kimberley (Platinum).
In the Dunlop Container category, also judged
on revenue and volume growth, the winner was
Kulungwane Tyres, based in Bronkhorstspruit,
Gauteng. This 100% black-owned and currently 51%
black-youth owned company sells and supplies new
tyres for passenger, light commercial, truck and bus
as well as offroad tyres and tubes.
With the support of a widely recognised brand,
the Dunlop Container programme has enjoyed ex-
ponential growth and success in the tyre market and
has received widespread support from government
and other agencies. Dunlop also offers a Business in
a Box plug-and-play solution for informal tyre busi-
nesses often trading from makeshift facilities, to be
transformed into Dunlop-branded fitment centres
operating out of a fully fitted 12m container. The
brand is on the lookout for 48 township entrepre-
neurs who could qualify for start up support to run
their own local Dunlop Container tyre centres.

for outstanding 2022 performance
