Eden Tyres & Servicing started out as a small garage on Upperdale road in Normanton. Owned & run by John Eden, he had a team of just five which included his wife Pat, twin son’s Matthew & James and 35 year old mechanic Pete McDermott who still manages the branch to this day.
Initially known as Eden Tyre & Exhaust Center it was over a decade before we opened our second branch in Ripley followed closely by a third in Somercotes near Alfreton. In 2002 we branched out into Nottinghamshire & opened up a garage in Mapperley.
2005 was a pivotal year for the Eden family. John retired from running the business full time, handing over the reins to Matt & Jim. It was also in this year that we acquired a large, new depot on Alfreton road in Derby which, being purpose built and on a different scale to the other branches, was to be the flagship ETS branch and the first sign of how the business was to develop.
