Shirlaws, the long-established franchise dealer in Aberdeen, is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year. “We’ve got events planned throughout the year,” dealer principal Craig Shirlaw, great-grandson of founder Leslie B Shirlaw, told BDN.
“We’ll have open days, barbecues and other events going on at both our sites – it’s all in the planning stage. We also want to highlight the fact that our new site in the city’s South College Road, home to our Suzuki franchise, is now one year old and has been very successful.”
“The 90th is a big celebration for us,” Craig added. “We’re the oldest dealer in Scotland, and I think the second or third in the UK. It’s still a family business, with my father Roy still MD and my sister Dawn involved.”
Shirlaws now includes franchises for Kawasaki, Triumph, Suzuki and Peugeot scooters.
