Oak Tyres has promoted Brad Hazelden and George Leigh into senior operational roles as the independent tyre wholesaler expands its UK distribution network. Hazelden becomes Site Operations Manager at the company’s high-volume Haydock depot, while Leigh moves into a regional position overseeing operational standards, systems and support across multiple locations.
Leadership changes support a larger network
The appointments place experienced internal managers in roles directly linked to depot performance and network consistency.
Brad Hazelden
Hazelden joined Oak Tyres almost seven years ago through an Operations Support position. He has since worked across several parts of the company’s logistics operation.
He became a Site Operations Manager when Oak opened its second Haydock facility in 2022. He later moved to the Warrington depot in May 2025, following its addition to the business.
Hazelden will now manage operations at Oak’s busiest UK depot in Haydock. His responsibilities include resource planning, warehouse efficiency and maintaining service levels during periods of high demand.
“Every day poses new challenges and opportunities to learn and develop,” Hazelden said. “I’ve been able to work across different parts of the company and see the distinct challenges each depot faces.”
George Leigh
Leigh joined Oak Tyres in Operations Support eight years ago. He later progressed to Site Operations Manager at the original Haydock warehouse.
As Regional Operations Manager, he will oversee existing depots and support the implementation of common operating standards across the network.
The role will also cover cross-depot support and information technology implementation. These areas become more key as a wholesaler adds locations, stock capacity and delivery routes.
“No two days are the same in operations,” Leigh said
