Local mobile motorcycle service and repair business Z&R Motorcycles Limited has
announced that it is to open its first garage as a result of positive business growth
and funding support from The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS).
The new premises, located at 141 Derby Road in Kirkdale, Bootle, will provide
the company with its first ever commercial base from which to operate the
growing business from.
Z&R Motorcycles offer a range of services for motorcycles, mopeds, scooters
and quads of all makes and models. The business, which was established in
2002, will also continue to run its popular mobile repair service alongside the
new garage.
The expansion of the business has resulted from an increase in trade and
demand for services. The company also plans to employ a new member of staff.
RBS has supported the purchase of the premises with a £36,000 fee free loan
under the Government backed Funding for Lending Scheme (FLS).
Sami Belhaouane, Managing Director of Z & R Motorcycles said: “Until we
bought the shop, I had run my business from home, offering a mobile service
for customers at their homes or places of work. But as the business has grown
and the demand from customers has increased it became clear that we needed
to move to the next level and open a garage to run the business from.
“The funding we have received from RBS has also been excellent, without it
we wouldn’t have been able to make this move to expand the business and
purchase the premises.”
Keith Tennant, Development Manager at The Royal Bank of Scotland added:
“We’d like to wish Sami every success with the opening of the garage. He has
built up a great business over the last 12 years and has developed a solid
customer base.”
Sue McNally Relationship Manager at The Royal Bank of Scotland added:
“We are looking forward to working with Sami and aiding him to continue to
develop his business.“
“The funding we have received
from RBS has also been excellent,
without it we wouldn’t have been
able to make this move to expand
the business and purchase
the premises.”
