Shipley is revving up for another business success story in the form of a new, improved motorbike shop.

Cobb and Jagger, of Shipley, was established 25 years ago and is now moving to a new site on Saltaire Road, Shipley.

The partners, Charlie Jagger and Lee Cobb - who met up and formed the shop because they are both 'motorbike nuts' - have gone from strength to strength and attract customers from all over the north of England.

Now they are to open up in Saltaire Road alongside the Aagrah restaurant.

As well as the new premises, the pair are celebrating clinching a lucrative and exclusive dealership with motorbike giants, Ducati - nicknamed the Ferrari of the motorcycle world.

Charlie Jagger said: "We have doubled our shop space, are going to be taking on new staff and also have been appointed as authorised Ducati dealers."

The firm will have a range of bikes, from scooters to the Ducati, which has been world superbike champion for the past four years.

Mr Jagger, 49 said they had had very positive feedback from customers.

The friends were engineering apprentices when they decided to go into business themselves and opened a small repair garage in Poplar Road, Shipley, 25 years ago.

Lee Cobb, 51, said: "Over the years we have concentrated more and more on Italian motorcycles, because of the character and attention to detail they have and can now safely say we have evolved into Italian specialists.

"Ducati is the Italian brand so when we were approached about taking the franchise we jumped at the chance."
