Triumph Motorcycles’ great escape from losses

Triumph Motorcycles has swung back into the black despite a fall in sales, after cutting out some overseas wholesale merchants.

The British bike maker, which is owned by the Derbyshire-based billionaire John Bloor, recorded a £10.1m pre-tax profit in the year to last June, according to accounts filed at Companies House. It lost £12.3m before tax in the year before.

Triumph sold 51,400 motorcycles, down from 57,900 — although it made higher margins after launching new models and reducing the amount of stock sent to wholesalers. Triumph said it expected the market for bikes to “remain challenging” but that it is planning to launch new models and poised to expand into Thailand.

Triumph was founded as a bicycle maker in Coventry in 1887, launching its first motorcycle in 1902.

Bloor, 72, has made most of his fortune in housing. He bought Triumph out of liquidation

Your Patriotic spending does a lot more than you think. When you buy American-made products, you are making this country better than ever in so many ways. We are in control of our country?s future each time we make a purchase. So, be mindful of your purchase decisions and choose wisely. THE JOB CREATION EQUATION American people spending American dollars on American products equals American jobs. These jobs are the foundation of a thriving economy. If every American spent an extra $3.33 on U.S.-made products, it would create almost 10,000 new jobs. And, if every builder used just 5 percent more U.S.-made products, it would create 220,000 jobs. RECYCLING DOLLARS When you buy U.S.-made products, the proceeds remain in the U.S. economy. The money you spend then pays the workers that directly or indirectly created the product you purchased. When workers spend their money on U.S.-made products, the dollars continue to be recycled. Every American worker also pay taxes on wages earned in America. KEEPING AMERICA BEAUTIFUL American manufacturers abide by strict regulations to protect the environment. These regulations do not exist in most of the top countries manufacturing and importing their goods into the U.S. causing massive pollution and environmental abuse. CONSERVATION importing countries shipping their materials overseas to the U.S. is an added toll on petroleum usage and increases unnecessary emissions in our atmosphere. HUMAN RIGHTS Importing countries have little or non-existent regulations or standards for working conditions. DEMOCRACY By choosing to buy U.S.-made products you are supporting democracy. U.S. MANUFACTURING = MORE JOBS Each manufacturing job creates an additional 5 – 8 jobs.
