Testimonials
As the UK’s largest specialist motorcycle insurance provider, Carole Nash is proud to be involved with Mortons Media Group and its awesome bike shows. For more than two decades, these classic shows have been at the heart of the UK’s biking scene. They’re an unmissable opportunity to get up close with bikes, bikers and bike fans from across the biking community. We’re already looking forward to the next one!
Stafford works for us as there are many European visitors looking to buy parts. It seems to have become a main European centre for classic Japanese bike parts, especially in regard to the October event. The attraction of the auction, the used parts and bike sellers outside and the indoor vendors and clubs works well together.
Central Wheel Components and our sister company Wheelhouse Tyres have exhibited at the two Stafford Show shows since their for some 15 years. CWC shows examples of our range of rims, spokes and nipples coupled with our in-house wheel building service. Wheelhouse Tyres shows its full range of tyres for classic, road, race and MX usage. The two shows are similar but different. One catering for the up-and-coming Japanese ‘classic’ market and the other for the general classic enthusiast. It would be fair to say that along with the Shepton Mallet/Bristol Show, the Stafford shows rate as the best classic events that both CWC & Wheelhouse Tyres exhibit at in the UK.
Central Wheel Components have long been associated with both Stafford Shows. For many years we were the proud sponsors of the two annual events. CWC have two and sometimes 3 stands at each show. With a large presence in the main Bingley Hall supported by another large Outdoor stand featuring our Tyre Company ….. Wheelhouse Tyres. Mortons have brought an extra level of professionalism to both events & we always know that any problems will be swiftly resolved by Andy Catton or Andy Kitchen.
