Damerells Motorcycles Plymouth has stopped trading. Some of the staff have been offered other job opportunities and some have moved to work from the company’s head office, Southwest Damerells Motorcycles, in Cornwall.
The decision to close on 13 May made “perfect business sense”, according to the company, which thanked their staff for their work. “The building is old and needs a great deal of money spent on it to bring it up to Yamaha European standards. With a single franchise it would always be difficult to get a return on the money laid out.
“It has been a hard decision to make but it’s for the best.
“Damerells Motorcycles is still up and running and only getting stronger and better.”
