Hein Gericke in Administration
Taken from motorcycle trader:
"Buyers are being sought for motorcycle clothing and accessory retailers, Hein Gericke (UK) Ltd, which was placed into administration on Monday 30th July 2012. "

Buggers, just bought a 2 piece ProSport, and very nice it is too.

Never used them since the crappy service I got 2 years ago. I'm not saying that the £250 I didn't spend on luggage would've kept them afloat, but it might have made a difference.
Re: Hein Gericke in Administration
Oh Lordy, another one down the tubes :-/ I wasn't aware that they were in trouble, I'm sure that their business model was more robust than that of George White, but perhaps it was so marginal that several wet months depressing the main selling season was enough to push them over the edge. Hopefully salvation will show up...

Varies wildly from store to store, i nearly put one on the manager of the Reading branch the sarky twat, yet the Farnborough branch are great, Brizzle gave me a £130 pair of Jeans free, so i couldn't fault them.

Let's hope they find a buyer. Doesn't say if the company is going under altogether or just pulling out of the UK market?
We know what crap summer weather we've had & ecconomic climate isn't any better. They may just close certain stores less profitable one's & trade online servicing the uk from certain stores. ::)

Gutted, I love their stores & my fave leathers came from there. :-/ :(
Re: Hein Gericke in Administration
Hope they can get it sorted, bought some of their own kit recently and it is excellent quality stuff :-/
Re: Hein Gericke in Administration
shame - my last pair of bulson boots lasted 5 years, have just got a new pair & a textile suit, quality, price & warranty all fantastic!! :)
Re: Hein Gericke in Administration
Are the shops still trading or are they shut? I thought they were all franchised out?.
