Triumph Birmingham
Is no more
They can't renew the lease so they're closing up shop at the end of this month.
I'm gutted for them. They've been there for years and built up a really good bunch of people there.

Re: Triumph Birmingham
That’s sad. Been there for a number of years. Wonder why they won’t re site it?

Re: Triumph Birmingham
No idea. Maybe they couldn't find a suitable site in Birmingham? DMC are based up North so they may want to stick around that area. DMC Kawasaki split from the DMC group late last year so they may have known then that they weren't going to stay in Brum.
No idea where I'm going to get my ST serviced now. I've heard mixed reports about Stratford.

Re: Triumph Birmingham
That's a good shout actually. It's possible.
That said the facebook post seems to suggest they're leaving the Midlands all together.

Re: Triumph Birmingham
That's strange. Theyve been really busy the last few years. I wonder if there's been a few shady transfers?

Re: Triumph Birmingham
Heard about this at work. It's really light in the midlands for Triumph dealers which is bizarre being near the home of Triumph.
I still use Staffordshire Triumph (BS Bikes) in Stoke. but that is a bit of a jaunt just for small things.

Re: Triumph Birmingham
Hey Kwacky, any chance you are calling in there before it closes? Be keen to get one of those T-Shirts you posted on FB if you are, preferably one with Triumph Birmingham written on it (if that exists) I’d PayPal you the dosh.

Re: Triumph Birmingham
that's odd isn't it - triumphs seem to be top sellers, mind you there was a triumph dealership in aston clinton (nr Aylesbury) that disappeared.duke63 wrote:They lost over £100,000 last year according to Companies House.

I'll take a look. I don't think there are any Triumph Birmingham ones. Anything in particular you're after?kiwikrasher wrote:Hey Kwacky, any chance you are calling in there before it closes?

Re: Triumph Birmingham
Nothing left. The shelves are pretty much empty.
I did ask if they would sell me a Tiger Explorer for £6k but they told me to piss off.
