An expanding Lincoln motorcycle and scooter dealership, B and B
Motorcycles Limited, will shortly be on the move to bigger premises
bringing with it new jobs.
The business which boasts a pedigree going back to 1976 has
outgrown its premises on the High Street and will be moving into
the former Arctic Spa/Chandlers premises on Greetwell Road, off
Outer Circle Road, a property secured for the business by Hodgson
Elkington, the Lincoln based chartered surveyors.
"We just didn't have enough space at our High Street premises
and needed more parking space and land to accommodate us and our
associated business, The Bike Academy, a motorcycle training school
that will be located on half an acre of land at the rear of our
showrooms," said Peter Littlewood, managing director of B and B
Motorcycles.
"The new premises on Greetwell Road, which they will be moving
to on 8 March will provide adequate car parking and offers the
extra space to fulfil B and B Motorcycles expansion plans. We wish
Peter and his team all the best in their new headquarters," said
Dan Race, partner at Hodgson Elkington.
The new premises will accommodate not only the Suziki main
dealership but also the Spanish Reiju motorcycle and Peugeot
scooter ranges.
The move will also create new jobs - one full time joining the
existing team comprising sales and workshop staff at B and B
Motorcycles and two at the Bike Academy. B and B Motorcycles,
which stocks new and used bikes and a wide range of genuine Suzuki
spare parts, clothing and accessories together offering expert
servicing and repairs at its on- site workshop.
On show will be a special limited edition Suzuki GSXR750. B and
B Motorcycles managed to get 2 of only 25 of these rare machines
produced and available to the 130 Suzuki dealerships nationwide.
"We have managed to sell one already to a local man," said Peter
Littlewood.
In addition the business recently teamed up with AIM
racing using the new Suzuki GSXR1000K9. With a list of riders,
including Steve Plater, Guy Martin, John McGuinness, Sean Emmett
and local rider Gary Johnson, who scored an impressive 3rd in last
year's Senior TT. AIM racing have had the cream of British talent
on their books, and have had incredible success, including wins in
the TT, the Macau GP and the NW200 amongst many others. "Now we
have teamed up with the new team, to supply bikes, spares and
expertise. We are very pleased and excited to be involved with such
a professional and successful team, and will be doing all we can to
help the team achieve their goals in 2010," said Peter
Littlewood.
