Easterbrook promises that all brands in the Wildoo portfolio will be supported with brand positioning, marketing and technical support whilst providing "healthy wholesale and retail margins."
The customer base extends to most UK based wholesalers, OEMs, and larger retail outlets, said Easterbrook.
"Despite the current difficult trading conditions and depressed profit margins, I’m optimistic that the bicycle industry will see improving fortunes in the future. Organisations such as Wildoo will help deliver the products, marketing and margins that are necessary to achieve this."
