Besides an original flagship Ducati showroom in the southern Mancunian suburb of Sale and its DMC Preston outpost in Lancashire, Ducati Manchester is to establish a third presence in Stoke-on-Trent with financial backing from Barclays Bank.
Having increased revenue from £3.4m to £8.6m in the five years between 2011 and 2016, this 15-year-old dealer chain is projecting a £10m turnover during 2017. And director Chris Booth believes the company’s close working relationship with Barclays plays a key role in ongoing success.
Commenting on his latest expansion plan, Booth said: “We are genuinely excited by the prospects for growth in our business and look forward to strengthening our relationship with Barclays as we continue development in the future.”
