M&P has gone up in flames

[james1988]

I was just reading the news and came across this

M&P Motorcycles in Gorseinon hit by major fire
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-13918649

I hope they don't take long to get back up and running. They were outstanding with their service I found.

Same here, hope they are back up and running quickly.

I too have found the service they provide is very good.

Hmmmm, it will take a hell of a long time to get back up and running IMO. Was the company actually doing well? I had loads of emails for really discounted stuff like exhausts etc...

The question is, is it a fire or is it a "fire"?

Wonder how sales have been going over the last 12 months.

Someone on here probably ordered on Friday and now is worried.

[robbieguy2003]

Seems to be a shame, i've ordered good stuff from them and spoke to them a fair few times over the phone.

I remember a few months back they released a new catalogue and seemed to be upping their game as it were. I remember the website getting a decent revamp.

As i work in the web industry, often on extremely large sites/projects (budgets usually starting at no less than £1M+) It's easy enough to see where a shite site costing nothing has been put together, and a good site costing a fair bit has been put together. In the case of MandP I thought they'd had a pretty good go at it and seemed to have spent a fair bit of time and effort getting it setup to what they wanted.

I'd hazard a guess at arson but I'd hope it's not insurance fraud.

Always found M&P to be thoroughly efficient and reasonably priced, sorry to hear the news and hope they're back in business soon.

Buster's is part of M and P too.

Looks like other companies gain. Conspiracy much?

I heard that customers have lost bikes that were there for repair too.
