To start at the beginning
........... at the tail end of 2001, when Glasgow found itself without any Ducati Dealer.
Our two owners, Roger and Martin saw an opportunity that simply couldn't be missed. Good friends for about 8 years prior to going into business together, it seemed an ideal partnership to combine their respective talents and try to bring a life long passion they both shared into Scotland.
After about six months of pulling together a large number of local resources and a lot of seriously hard work from new staff and family members, Ducati Glasgow phase one (showroom one and workshop) opened its doors in May 2002. For the next few weeks the finishing touches went on to showroom two and the official grand opening with Ruben Xaus (then Ducati factory WSBK Rider) on June 29th 2002.
and then ...............?
Nearly eight years later we're still here. So much has changed since then! We haven't stopped learning and adapting to the changes in our market. The products coming from Italy have changed so much since we first opened the doors we have been delighted to be moving with the times. And we wont stop here!
Our relationship with Ducati grows every day........ Our experience gets even more comprehensive ..........
Our service to our customers gets better!
