We welcomed the fantastic Charley Boorman to the dealership, someone I know is hugely popular with bikers across the region.”
Robert Forrester, Chief Executive of Vertu Motors plc, added: “ We are thrilled to embark on this new venture with Ducati, bringing the passion and precision of this iconic motorcycle brand to Sunderland. This partnership reflects our commitment to delivering exceptional experiences to motorists, whether they’re on two wheels or four. Vertu continues to grow, adding new manufacturers, dealerships, and colleagues to the Group, all built on a foundation of delivering outstanding customer motoring experiences through honesty and trust.”
