Accounts Payable

**Accounts Payable**

In 2021 Turntide acquired three North East businesses to establish our presence in the UK - those businesses were Borg Warner in Gateshead, Hyperdrive in Sunderland and Avid in Cramlington. The acquisitions allowed us to extend our Smart Motor System to the transportation sector and help turn the tide on climate change.

There is a massive change happening across Transportation.
