Blackcircles Gains First Outlet in Edinburgh

Blackcircles has secured its first franchise outlet in Edinburgh. Seafield Coachworks’ boss Bill Neish said he is so impressed with the business that he has agreed to use his industry contacts to help the Peebles-based company expand its new franchise format across the UK.

And as chairman of the Vehicle Builders & Repairers Association (VBRA), Mr Neish told The Scotsman he is planning to use his influence in the industry to help the company: “[Since joining] we’ve never looked back. I’m delighted to help him by spreading the word through the VBRA.

Mr Welch said that by creating a network of franchisees among existing businesses, Blackcircles.com was aiming to capture a £100 million share of the UK tyre retail market.
