marcpotter Marc Potter Sad to say that Britain's biggest bike dealer, George White Motors, has ceased trading this morning. Full story on the site in a second. :shock:
There is no margin in cheap, sadly you got to sell tons to make a profit, no profit= no business, its a shame.
George Whites Just a heads up George Whites have gone into administration. There web site just says "Sorry, George White is currently unavailable. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. " More info' on the MCN website
Yep, miserable. I never cease to be saddened by the number of businesses going bust, all those people out of work.
I don't know about Triplex's silver idea. :? I think I may just buy a little fertile land.: People will always need to eat.!
I often get to wondering how many of these places stay in business. Not only is their stuff cheap but they just don't seem to be able to shift old stock. I saw a stand at the nec show selling the astars tech 1 r suit I'd thought of getting last year at HG for £900. It was £700 at the NEC then same stand at Manc show £550. The RST leathers looked about 10 years old.
Apparantly gone into Administration today. Guess the recession is starting to bite now. Just noticed I was a bit late with the news there!
George White Gone Hope none of you ordered anything from George White - they've gone bankrupt!! Shocking to hear that such a big company is having such hard times. First sign of the goverments attempts to make life impossible for bikers actually resulting in less bikers so bike companies suffering?
Re: George White Gone They've been bankrupt since 19th Jan! https://www.675.cc/675/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=9597
