An Important Announcement to Our Valued Customers
As some of you may already have heard through the grapevine, after 19 wonderful years, Del has made the decision to retire next year.
While this certainly hasn't been an easy decision, the time feels right to hang up the spanners and enjoy a well-earned retirement. We wanted you to hear the news directly from us and let you know.
First and foremost, we'd like to reassure all of our customers that it's business as usual until the very last day. Any motorcycles currently in our workshop, along with all booked work, will be completed as planned. We'll continue to provide the same friendly, reliable service you've come to expect, right up until we close the door for the very last time.
Looking back over the past 19 years, it has been an incredible privilege to repair, service and care for your motorcycles. More importantly, it's been a pleasure getting to know so many of you along the way. Many customers have become good friends, and that is something we'll always treasure.
Del would like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has trusted us with their bikes, recommended us to others, and supported the business over the years. Your loyalty has allowed us to do what we love every day, and for that we are truly grateful.
Although it's the end of an era, retirement is also the beginning of an exciting new chapter. We hope you'll join us in wishing Del a long, happy and well-deserved retirement.
We'll confirm the official retirement date once it's been finalised and keep everyone updated. Until then, we'll be here as always, doing what we've always done keeping you and your motorcycles safely on the road.
Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journeys over the last 19 years. It's been an honour to earn your trust, share your stories, and keep your bikes running at their best.
To provide clarity and reassurance, we will not be closing our doors without prior notice. We will ensure that plenty of advance notice is provided and communicated before any closure takes place. Until our final trading date is officially announced, it will be business as usual. For clarity, our latest anticipated closure date would be September 2027, although this may be earlier depending on circumstances, and we will communicate any changes well in advance.
Please keep an eye on our page along with our https://linktr.ee/delsmoto account for updates regarding the latest on Dels retirement, MOT bookings and don't forget our Macmillan Coffee morning that is happening on 12th September (9:30am to 1:30pm) as this will be our very last.
We look forward to seeing many of you over the coming months before we close the roller door for the final time.
With our sincere thanks,
Del, Kelly and family
