To say the last 12 months have been a whirlwind for Shirlaws Motorcycles is an understatement.
It was just over a year ago in early 2021 since Shirlaws was bought by Gillanders Motors Ltd based in Peterhead. The investment made has seen a brand new site built at Wellington Circle, Altens in Aberdeen. It was opened in February this year where the dealership was dual branded to incorporate MG cars as well. This compliments the Kia and MG brand also found in Peterhead under the Gillanders name.
Manufacturers for the motorcycle side has increased from the Kawasaki and Triumph stalwarts to now also include KTM and more recently CF Moto. As a result Shirlaws is now able to claim to not only hold a huge selection of new and used motorcycles as well as parts and accessories, but also the title of the largest motorcycle clothing store in Scotland.
Having won the ‘MCN Motorcycle Multi Franchise Dealer of Year for 2022’, everyone at Shirlaws is overjoyed to accept the award and in no small part is testament to the blood, sweat and tears put in by everyone to make this family run business proud of its achievements.
The team has worked tirelessly throughout the year to exceed customers’ expectations as at the end of the day it’s the customer who makes everything possible and the Group has a fantastic loyal customer base, who they also want the opportunity to thank for their continued support.
Shirlaws would also like to extend their thanks to the manufacturers they represent for their ongoing support launching some truly exceptional products.
Having said all this, Shirlaws is not sitting on their laurels and there are still exciting expansion and growth plans in the works - so watch this space!
Shirlaws Motorcycles run by bikers for bikers since 1928, it’s in our blood.
