Just months after the closure of Pidcock Motor Cycles Limited, the former BMW site in Long Eaton will be brought back to life by Bikers Nottingham. The new owners plan to create a 'busy bike shop', a cafe and offer positions to former staff.
Just a few months after being made redundant, staff at a well-known Derbyshire motorcycle firm could be given a lifeline after the acquisition of their old workplace. Two dealerships closed their doors permanently after Pidcock Motor Cycles Limited, an acclaimed seller of a number of motorcycle manufacturers, called in administrators back in October, following a challenging period of trade.
Bikers Nottingham - a sister company to MotoGB, a national new and used motorbike retailer - said it would turn the empty building back into a "busy bike shop" and also looks to open a new cafe on the site, as well as offering previous staff positions within the new dealership. It added that it has "plenty of exciting things" going on in the background and is "keeping an eye open" as to what direction the store will take. The spokesperson continued: "For now, we will be pressing on with filling the shop with low-mileage, quality used bikes as well as some of the brands that we already deal with.
The administrators said they secured interest in the Fields Farm Road site and were considering offers from prospective buyers. FRP announced that 18 redundancies would be made with the permanent closure of Ducati and Triumph sites.
