Cupar Motorcycles staff

Meet the Staff from Cupar Motorcycles

The Showroom

180 square metres of showroom space with most of the range of new Suzukis, as well as up to 60 used bikes.


Gordon Moffat Sales manager. Has sold prestige cars, Rovers and lawnmowers on his CV. Looks like Steve McQueen (from a distance). Don't get him started on T150V Tridents...		Roger Lindsay Senior salesman. At home talking about race reps, cruisers, trail bikes or scooters. Or Moto GP races. Has an incredible memory for nonsense: like the third bike before the last one he sold you had a scratch on the rear number plate bracket.

Aftersales

Completely computerised spares ordering and stock control, with dedicated staff to assist with servicing, repairs, spares and accessories. (And to make you a cup of coffee!)


Alan Lawrie Stores manager. Once actually left us to go and work on tractors but has never looked back since seeing the error of his ways. Used to like fast cars and bikes till he discovered a love of decrepit old Iveco vans.		Andrew Maxwell Storeman. Very good at it too. Has an unhealthy ambition to finish an engineering degree which is why you only see him a couple of days a week. Would do even better if he studied a bit more rather than ruin the countryside on his mountain bike.


Gareth Rees Trainee storeman. Actually already a superb asset after only 2 year's training. Watch out for this man (especially if you're on the road near Cupar - has just bought an SV650 Sport).		Petr Hubacek Storeman and IT consultant. Oh yes. The Czech republic not being capitalist enough, our Petr has come to Scotland to line his pockets and steal our women. Bloody good at sorting out Mr Gates' broken boxes.

Workshop

3 dedicated service/ repair bays, 1 fast fit bay, 1 MOT bay, 1 pdi bay; and 1st floor area for cleaning and storing bikes.

Allan Mackie

Workshops foreman. No machine failure too obscure or weird to diagnose. A true Fifer, thinks the English are OK 'cos they're nae fe Dundee. Has a strange and dangerous affiliation with Celtic football club.

Eck Laing

Senior mechanic. After a wild upbringing in the depth of southern fife. Has settled down, sort of. Has a big and a little girl at home and races at Knockhill of a weekend. A problem gambler, has lost a small fortune betting on Scotland.

Leon Murphy

Pdi mechanic. Another wannabe Rossi. Watch out Knockhill. Can prepare any number of machines flawlessly. Answers to Haslam, Trotsky, Camier or anything else beginning with Leon.


		Tom Conway Our senior citizen driver and bike cleaner. Also master electrician, and senior whisky taster. Suffers the odd senior moment. Police background. Another true Fifer - tak a laang spoon with you...		Dean Begg Latest qualified mechanic. This picture taken 15 years ago. Now supassed by Pedro in the cycle tricks department. Comes from a big Motorcycling family, some of whom know their way round Knockhill and have tasted the tarmac.

Administration

Keeping the whole show running smoothly (and counting the pennies) on a network of computers from a dedicated sales as well as a separate accounts office.


Paul Weinberger Shareholder/ director. This is the new titanium reinforced version, after getting his back cut open at Ninewells following an accident with a ladder on Easter Sunday 2007. The windows at home have not been cleaned since. Why doesn't he just employ a cleaner with all his millions?	Lorna Hughes Finance director. Fastest payroll processor in Fife. Management accounts prepared meticulously and still finds time to enter Tay FMs quiz every day. Never misses a settlement discount either. Staff outings organised perfectly every time.	Jo Rafferty Administrator. Frequently administrates punishment to recalcitrant mechanics. however some of them enjoy this more than would be regarded as healthy. Never flaps, no matter what is thrown at her. The job just gets done, the workshop staff just greet.
