Legendary County Durham mechanic celebrated his 75th birthday - but says he'll 'keep going until he drops'

Brian Cain is one of Spennymoor's best-known business owners, having clocked up 40 years of service to his Treadmark Tyres business. The family garage, featuring Brian’s son Bradley and daughter-in-law Amy, have been experts in HGV, Plant and Agricultural tyres and repairs since 1982.
