Road racer James Hillier is using the same focus and competitive drive that took him to two third places at this year’s TT to build his business interests.
Hillier set up www.yourmotobike.co.uk in 2016 and says the online sales business selling helmets, boots, clothing and accessories is thriving. Now he has also become involved with a new company called Vehicle Dome and is looking for stockists/retailers interested in selling the inflatable indoor cover – basically a bubble-like enclosure protecting the bike from damage / dust and condensation.
“When I’m not racing I’m working hard to build these businesses using the experience and knowledge gained through years of racing and riding.
“In terms of growth, YourMotoBike is now offering more than 20 different brands and over 1000 products, and this figure is growing weekly. With just a small team we have the foundations to build a very strong and streamlined business.
“Being a racer I’m very competitive, and this crosses over to the businesses. Although it’s not a race, I want to be the best and offer top quality service and products to our customers. We are also striving to build strong relationships with new suppliers.”
The target for Bike Dome, according to Hillier, is to appeal to dealers. “I see it as a good up-sell product when customers are purchasing a new bike.”
