🚨 BIG NEWS FROM BERESFORD’S! 🚨

Well… it’s finally time to let the cat out of the bag! 😂

Over the next month, we’ll be opening Beresford’s Garage! 🎉🔧

What started as one van and a dream has grown into something we could only have imagined a few years ago, and we’re incredibly excited about what’s coming next.

The garage will allow us to offer even more services to our customers, including:

✔️ Clutches
✔️ Timing Belts
✔️ Timing Chains
✔️ Large MOT Repair Jobs
✔️ Welding
✔️ Wheel Alignment & Tracking
✔️ Engine Repairs
✔️ Diagnostics
✔️ Fleet Maintenance
✔️ And pretty much anything else you can throw at us! 😂

The only thing we won’t be doing just yet is MOTs…

BUT… I can assure you that’s already in the pipeline too! I mean, come on, it’s me… I don’t do things by halves! 😂🙈

And before anyone starts panicking…

🚐 THE VANS AREN’T GOING ANYWHERE! 🚐

Our mobile service will continue exactly as it is, with our vans still out and about doing what they do best – bringing professional servicing, diagnostics and repairs directly to your home or workplace.

In fact, things are only getting better.

Being VAT registered means we’ll now be able to take on warranty work, opening up even more options for our customers.

For our fleet customers, you’ll now have the choice of:

🏢 Garage-based repairs
🚐 Mobile servicing and repairs

The best of both worlds! 🤷‍♀️

We’ll also be offering:

✔️ Vehicle Collection & Delivery
✔️ Recovery Arrangements
✔️ Trade & Fleet Support

(We’ve got a fantastic recovery company ready to help us with that side of things too 👌)

The goal has always been simple…

To become a true one-stop shop for vehicle maintenance, whether that’s mobile, workshop-based, or both.

There’s still plenty of work to do before the doors officially open, but we’re incredibly excited for this next chapter and can’t wait to bring you all along for the journey.

Here’s to the next step… let’s do this!!! 💪🚐🔧🏢

**Race Report – Round 3 | Croft **

We turned up to testing with a bike that was working ok, but not where it needed to be to be competitive, we went in the right direction straight away and ended the day very happy .

** Qualifying:**
An interesting qualify session, got passed by Simon Daniel’s through turn 3 so thought I would take the tow, BAD Idea! Turns out Simon can jump the curbs and I can’t 🤣 kept it upright though and did abit of grass tracking, managed to re join and set a lap time some how.
➡️ **P4 Overall | P3 in Class**

**Race 1:**
As always go the launch off the line, got stuck in behind Si and Callum, which ended up in a 3 way battle for 2nd in class, I couldn’t quite close Si up in the last lap but had a drag race to the finish with Callum ( he knew deep down he had nothing for the triumph 🤣)
➡️ **P4 Overall | P3 in Class**

**Race 2:**
Didn’t have the usual launch and Fin page laid it over me into turn 1 which was close to say the least! Si again looked too make the pass into the complex but unfortunately miss judged it and ran on, from there the arm pump started to set in so it was defensive for the last few laps and brought it home for my first top step finish !
➡️ ** P1 Overall | P1 in Class**

**Race 3:**
Got a great launch and got it into turn 1, I held the lead until lap 3 when Si passed me and then Callum got me on Lap 4, feeling short of rear grip I decided to sit in, which was annoying as I felt I had the pace but decided it was better to bring it home than drop it due to what I though was a dead rear tyre. After I finish the race it turns out the oil cooler had failed and the bike was dripping water and oil so just getting it home was super lucky after the pre season Spain incident !
➡️ **P3 Overall | P3 in Class**

To say I went into the weekend with no expectation to a track I don’t particularly like, to walk away with my first win and 2 no 3rd places I’m going to call that a result !!

As usual a massive thanks to all the sponsors this year and an every one who turned out to help and watch this weekend!

**Race Report – Round 2 | Donington **

Friday testing was a busy one trying to find a suspension set up that worked after so many changes over winter, we ended up with somthing that worked but needed refining a little more through the weekend.

** Qualifying:**
A strong session overall, took me a few laps to learn how to ride around the F900’s as they make their time in a very different way!
➡️ **P10 Overall | P5 in Class**

**Race 1:**
As always go the launch off the line, but got caught up with the pack in red gate so it was head down and push on, some mega racing though and the lap times started dropping !
➡️ **P6 Overall | P4 in Class**

**Race 2:**
Another solid launch and also made the most on the rider in front pulling a huge wheelie off the line! I had a strong few laps with the two guys infront but just lost touch after lap 4/5, the race got cut short by a red flag with the lost laps being added to race 3.
➡️ ** P5 Overall | P3 in Class**

**Race 3:**
I got off to another flying start, held with the lead pack 2 laps, unfortunately I was catching the bike infront on the brakes and good a little bit greedy into turn one, managed to keep it up right but ran on and the marshals wouldn’t allow me to rejoin !
➡️ **DNF**

Overall, some solid results and working in the right direction, just need to keep chipping away at every round and improve as much as we can !

As usual a massive thanks to all the sponsors this year and an every one who turned out to help and watch this weekend!
