Vacancy Detail
Wheely-Safe is a pioneering world-leader in wheel and safety technology. The UK-based company was founded in 2010 by two lifelong school friends ? Gary Thomas, a Director of his own transport compliance consultancy, and Gary Broadfield, a Director of Technology and serial inventor for a large Japanese electronics manufacturer.
Acutely aware of the global issue posed by wheel loss and the huge number of vehicles driving every day on under-inflated tyres, they brought together the marriage of skills required to help solve these issues in the automotive sector.
The early years of Wheely-Safe concentrated on attaining worldwide patent protection and developing the technology small enough to fit near the wheels of all vehicle types, from cars to commercial vehicles and industrial plant. 2018 saw the launch of the Wheely-Safe Light tyre pressure management system (TPMS) for cars, 4x4s, vans, minibuses, light plant and trailers. This was followed at the start of 2019 with the launch of Wheely-Safe Heavy for buses, coaches, trucks, trailers and heavy plant.
