August Talk with John Piper

August is upon us, and the weather has been hot! It’s the month of holidays, summer fun and time off for many people. So how are small business owners coping with the month often known as ‘silly season’?

Today we’re talking to John Piper who is Brand Manager at Ducati Bournemouth which will be opening later this year on Ferndown Industrial Estate. We’ll be a destination store selling new and used Ducati motorcycles, with state of the art workshop and servicing facilities and an onsite café.  We’ll also have a great range of official apparel, parts and accessories. 

How is August looking in your business? Does this month hold any special significance in your business? 
I’ve just started in my role, so I have a very busy few months ahead, including finalising the interior layout for Ducati Bournemouth and recruiting our team.

What are your personal plans for this month? Can you give us a ‘tip’ for places to visit during this summer month?
I’d recommend popping down to Bike night on Poole Quay on a Tuesday evening. It’s a great atmosphere on the waterfront with hundreds of beautiful motorbikes on display – a great night out even if you don’t ride!

August 20 is World Photo Day – can you share a photo which means something to you this year so far?
The photo I’ve shared is of me on a Ducati on the runway!

Have you got any events planned for the autumn you’d like to shout about – either that you are running or attending?
We’ll be opening Ducati Bournemouth this Autumn, look out for news of our opening event!

And finally, August 16 was National Tell a Joke Day? Can you tell us a joke and raise a laugh?
Q. What do you call a Vicar on a motorcycle?
A. Rev
