Just had email stating that Bowker Ribble Valley and Ineos parting ways at the end of this year, ie in a few days.
Something catastrophic must have happened to bring about such bad news.
What the hec is going on?
 
So many factors can play in to dealers parting with companies. Poor support, bad margins, poor sales, friction with corporate. Honestly the likeliness of finding out is low give the NDA’s that will no doubt be in place
 
Bought mine lightly used from there - great price, below average transaction. Email says premises will remain open and sell sports and prestige, so maybe the Ineos franchise simply didn't pay?
 
Car dealerships are dropping like flies in the UK. If a profit is not substantial, they will drop a brand as soon as they can.
There is also the issue of illegal finance the industry have been involved with over the last decade. The dealers may have to repay millions so need to build some cash.
 
Not selling enough volume for bowkers to make enough money out of selling them
