The Alan Gibson product range and business has now been sold to new owners Colin Seymour and Chris Wilde
15/11/07(more detail about us here). |
|
The business officially changed hands on 25/10/07. Colin then spent the week commencing 29/10/07 with Alan learning the basic skills required to produce the range of 4mm wheels and castings. We were all very pleased with the way things went over that week and Colin managed to acquire all the necessary skills to produce wheels. He then returned to base for a week to prepare for the big move and returned to Alan’s for a further week starting on 12/11/07. The business will then relocate to the Oldham area over the weekend 17-18/11/07. Our postal address is now: Alan Gibson (Workshop), PO Box 597, Oldham Lancashire, OL1 9FQ and phone number, 0161 678 1607 and our fax is 0161 785 8208, email: sales@alangibsonworkshop.co.uk |

Our main aim is 'Business as usual'. We wish to run the business in the same manner as it has been in previous years, with the same aims and philosophy. There will obviously be some disruption but we are aiming to keep this to the absolute minimum. As far as the product range is concerned all wheels
that are currently available in 4mm and 7mm will continue to be so, as
will all castings detailing parts, wire, etc. etc. |
