It was the main sponsor of the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) in 2008, 2009 and 2014. It supplies the tyres exclusively for the British police.[citation needed]

The companies' outlets were improved in 2008.

This is also the headquarters of Dunlop Tyres UK, which moved to the site in May 2017.
