Hi,
I for one was very pleased to see this statement appear on the MC website. I am pleased for all the staff at the company, as well as happy that service for my bike will be available 15 mins from home. Great news!
"As some of you may be aware there has been some talk of a change to our decision to close Motorrad Central East which was announced in our letter dated 27/07/2007. We would like to confirm that this is the case and that Motorrad Central East will continue to trade as normal.
As was expressed in our previous letter, we had concerns that there was not the level of business to justify two full dealerships in the Central Belt of Scotland and the prudent course of action was to close our Dalkeith dealership. Having made this decision we have since had many conversations and meetings with BMW UK and other advisors and have been persuaded that with a little more patience and investment on our part the future for the brand in the Central Belt is bright. We and the staff of Motorrad Central East were also buoyed by the amount of support expressed from the customers of the dealership and this in conjunction with the aforementioned has resulted in our change of heart.
We would like to apologise for any concern or confusion this has caused our customers and look forward to continuing our customer relationships for years to come.
Yours sincerely
Ken Waters & John Dillon
