BLD – the Bikers Legal Defence Ltd, which provided credit hire, repair, storage and claims services – has gone into administration. Its assets are to be auctioned.
Danny Dartnaill and Simon Girling of BDO LLP were appointed joint administrators on 9 September.
A message on BLD’s website states: “Unfortunately, owing to the company’s financial position there are limited staff to take calls. Please email any further queries to: [email protected].” There follows a series of questions and answers to provide information for customers with claims-related and general repairs, MOT and servicing queries; and for dealers with unfulfilled orders.
According to company promotional material, BLD, which was founded in 2000, had six UK service centres, in Ringwood, Bournemouth, Brighouse, Camberley, Birmingham and Cumbernauld as well as Lisburn (Belfast). The company has trading names including: Altamura Concepts, Ministry of Bikes, The MoB, FI International and Salvage Solutions.
