Family run business, Bransons Motorcycles, has plenty to celebrate at the end of 2014 because the business has won a prestigious award from Motorcycle News naming it as the best multi-franchise dealer in the South West. Presenting him with the Award, Amy Sparrow from Motorcycle News said, "Congratulations on winning the MCN Award. You've got an excellent business and a great many satisfied customers"

The specialist business with premises in Yeovil and Gloucester has also just marked its 35^thyear as a Honda Dealer.

Managing Director Paul Branson commented, "It has been a really good year for us as we have seen sales rise by 13% and turnover approaching £6.5 million by the end of 2014." The company employs 30 people and offers a wide selection of new and used bikes and regularly features in the top ten in the RiDE magazine reader survey.

As well as Honda, Bransons represents other leading brands in the motorcycle world, including Kawasaki and Yamaha.

Started by Paul Branson in 1979, Bransons has been successfully supplying motorcycles to customers all over the South West for over 35 years from premises in Yeovil, Somerset and for over fifteen years from premises in Gloucester. The Yamaha showroom was opened in Yeovil in 2008 and the Kawasaki outlet in March 2010, achieving Kawasaki "Elite" dealer status in 2011.

The business stocks around 200 used bikes across all makes, all expertly prepared by factory trained technicians to be amongst the best examples of their kind. Both showrooms stock a large selection of parts, accessories, helmets and clothing, including brands such as Oxford Products, Arai, Furygan, Shark, RST, Halvarssons and Nolan, with a clothing specialist on hand to offer help and advice.

Paul attributes much of the success of the business to the wide selection of motorcycles on display at both his showrooms. He says that the Internet has really benefitted the business and enabled it to increase its market share by showcasing its products to an online audience from all over the UK. Bransons offers nationwide delivery on all its bikes for just £130.
