Mutt Motorcycles, the well-known British manufacturer and exporter of custom motorcycles, has officially entered administration. On Friday, 28 February, the London law firm Addleshaw Goddard submitted an application to the High Court, signalling their intention to appoint an administrator to oversee the company’s affairs.
Mutt Motorcycles, known for its distinctive designs, has garnered a loyal following but has struggled to navigate the competitive market. The appointment of an administrator will aim to evaluate options for the business, including potential restructuring, asset sales, or seeking a buyer to preserve jobs and continue operations.
RSM UK Group, an audit, tax and consulting service, has been appointed as the administrator of the Birmingham-based firm, but no other information has been released, and its official digital channels are silent on the matter. A public Facebook group for Mutt Motorcycle owners has several customer comments expressing concerns for the 20 employees. They hope for a positive outcome for the company and are worried about the future of the brand. Additionally, they have practical concerns regarding spare parts and warranty coverage.
The owner’s group also has a post by Matt Plested from Mutt dealer Speedway Motorcycles in Cannock. Plested says that Speedway is pledging to continue to support owners with servicing and repairs and is approaching the administrators with a view to buying stocks of spares.
