An exciting opportunity has arisen to join one of the UK’s largest independent motorcycle retail groups and take responsibility for the continued growth and development of Bikers Nottingham.

Opened in March 2025, Bikers Nottingham has quickly established itself as a successful multi-brand motorcycle dealership.

• Building strong relationships with manufacturers, suppliers and other departments within the Moto GB group.
• Identifying commercial opportunities and implementing ideas that improve sales, efficiency, customer retention and profitability.

• A customer-focused approach and the ability to handle difficult situations professionally.
• A genuine interest in motorcycles and enthusiasm for building the Bikers brand.
• The ability to work independently, make decisions and take ownership of branch performance.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants genuine responsibility and the chance to lead and grow an established motorcycle dealership with considerable future potential.
