Bob Jackson (Vigorelli, etc)

Found on another forum:

OK once and for all, despite several ongoing rumours Bob Jackson Cycles (1993) LTD are NOTclosing down.

The respray, frame building and frame repair dept are continuing on as always however as the retail shop has been non profit making (despite mine and my staff best efforts!) and effectively subsidised by the factory side for a good few years the Director took the business decision to close the retail shop and concentrate on the stronger side of the company.

To this effect the shop closed on Friday 5th August. With the closure came the sad redundancies of myself and Andrew Sowden the shop mechanic. Daryl continues upstairs in the factory.

The factory now has had a rejig and has a 'consultation' room where Customers are welcome to visit to discuss their frame building and respray requirements.

With the shop closing so ends my 11 year stint with Bob Jackson Cycles. I would like to thank all the folks on TTF who have supported the shop in anyway and wish you all the best for the future. I would also like to express my thanks to Donald and all at Bob Jackson Cycles who have made the last 11 or so years fun and entertaining.
