Triumph specialist Norman Hyde is restructuring his business, to reflect the diverse needs of his classic and modern bike customers, by outsourcing distribution of his parts range for Hinckley-built Triumphs to Moto Legends. This company is run by industry veteran Arthur Macdonald, a man well-known to the trade from his time with the motorcycle divisions of Micron and Bridgestone.
The move will enable Hyde to spend more time on development work, such as a new collection for the 1600cc Triumph Thunderbird. Norman Hyde Classics will also continue to supply accessories for Meriden-built Trident and Bonneville models, plus AP Lockheed brakes and IKON suspension.
“Over the past five years our business has continued to grow in real terms and most of that increase has come from our ever-expanding range of accessories for post-1999 Bonnevilles,” explains Hyde. “Ten years ago parts for the Hinckley Triumphs were a sideline for us but now they account for more than 50 per cent of turnover and we’ve reached the point where we need to create distinct parts of the business to service the needs of different customer groups.”
Contact details remain unchanged, so customers can reach both parts of the business via one telephone number and one website. Call 01926 832345 or visit www.normanhyde.co.uk.
