Shires Motorcycle Training Ltd

|
Shires Motorcycle Training was established in 1990, where the training sites were in Derby, Nottingham and Leicester.
In 2000, Shires became a Limited Company and the ownership changed, along with the sites used for training.
The Derby and Nottingham sites were still used together; however, the Leicester site was taken over by a different owner, although it still kept the same name.
On 1st November 2005 Paul Nunn became the new Managing Director.

Paul wanted to expand the business and make improvements on the way, these were:
|
- A new Mercedes Van to move bikes between sites
- Replaced all Training bikes with the latest models of CBF500, CG125 & Peugeot TKR Mopeds
- Supplied all new kit for trainees to hire or buy including accessories
- Re-branded with all new logos
- Re-issued all company marketing collateral with new logo's
- Recruitment of 10 new instructors and 2 new office staff
- Re-designed and updated website

In 2009, we continued to provide trainees with the best possible equipment, such as:
- Replacing all CG125's and Peugeot TKR mopeds to 09 or 59 plated Honda 50cc mopeds, Automatic Yamaha 125cc and geared Yamaha and Suzuki 125cc
- We also replaced all the CBF500's to BMW G650X's and BMW F650GS's

|
Our Mission statement is quite simply that;
|
|
'We are dedicated to making Safer riding a way of life'
|
|
|
We currently specialise in Motorcycle Training at all levels including;
|
- Compulsory Basic Training
- Test course Training (125 Intense or Direct Access on 650cc)
- Roadcraft / Derbyshire Bike Plus
- Advanced (RoSPA or IAM)
|
We try to offer 'The Complete Motorcycling Experience' for successful trainees who have passed their tests, by encouraging them to join in with our group ride-outs, which allows them to develop new skills and gain experience along the way.
The ride-outs are also great for socialising and are educational whilst enjoying yourself!
- The group ride outs travel to various destinations within the UK (6 per year during summer months)
- Trips abroad to the Nurburg ring for track experiences is both exciting and enjoyable (May & August)
- A yearly trip to the Isle of Man for the TT is also a great experience not to be missed! (June)

Where is our future?
|
- Continue to develop the wider motorcycling experience, not just for those who want to pass their tests, but also for those who already have a motorcycle licence and want to further their knowledge
- Continue to provide the best possible training for each individual and maintain the equipment to a high standard in order to help trainees achieve their end goals, i.e. exchanging our fleet of bikes every so many months for brand new, reliable, up to date machines
- Continue to provide an environment where bikers can come and socialise, have a coffee, relax, ask any questions they may have and show us their new bikes!
- Expand the business further by providing training at one or two extra sites to the ones we already have
