Our Community, Essex

Being part of the the local community since 1990, our team at Jet Wheel Tyre ensure that we are always working with our local community.

Breastfeeding Welcome

On average 80% of mums in Essex start off breastfeeding but may stop shortly after for a variety of reasons. This drops to approximately 50% of new mums continuing to breastfeed when their baby is six to eight weeks old. Some mums find breastfeeding more challenging when they are away from home. This is one reason why they may stop. Mums should not be made to feel uncomfortable about breastfeeding in public and they should be given more information and support to do so.

We at Jet Wheel Tyre have signed up to the Virgincare Breastfeeding Welcome Scheme. This ensures any mums breastfeeding are welcome at our business at all of our 3 depots in Benfleet, Pitsea and Rayleigh, mums are supported and can be provided a private place to breastfeed if they need it.

AquAid

Our unique relationship with AquAid has also given our company the opportunity to help those less fortunate than ourselves, because with each purchase an automatic donation is made to the Africa Trust. These funds are used to build ‘Elephant Pumps’ - a modified version of an age old Chinese rope pulley system. One such pump is currently installed in Africa on our behalf and it is a much needed source of clean and fresh drinking water for many.

Our company’s name is proudly displayed on our well and we look forward to adding some photos and letters of thanks from the villagers to our site in the near future.

To date AquAid have built over 5,000 such Elephant Pumps across parts of Zimbabwe, Malawi and Liberia; and have donated in excess of £10 million to charity.

"We at Jet Wheel Tyre are aware that keeping our staff members hydrated will aid them to perform at their very best throughout the work day. As a result, we decided to invest in watercoolers from AquAid.”

Canvey Carnival
