Word in the trade is that George White is coming to Edinburgh and has obtained a 6 month lease on premises at Sighthill.

That's going to set the cat amongst the pigeons.....

Wish he'd stop off at Newcastle on the way.

We need competition.

Actually, I'm not sure that you do. In a cut throat market, the biggest are likely to be the only ones to survive and once they're the only ones left....

Interesting. Do you know where in Sighthill ? I noticed the Witherspoons VW place looked closed today.

No, that's as much information as I've got and I'm told it's not being corroborated by some companies who supply GW.....

There are also units in Catalyst Trade Park which is the set of new units beside Burton's biscuits.

They are on the Ryden property site but I'm not sure that they are suitable for a service / showroom.

What franchises are they bringing with them? Don't think Honda or Suzuki will allow two dealers so close to each other. We could be doing with a better/nicer Yamaha dealer though.

Maybe their just opening a clothing and accessories warehouse like they have more recently done in Bolton Lancs?
