I did think Stirling looked a bit empty last week. Possibly both Stirling & Perth have closed, I do hope not. Common ownership afaik. 

If these dealers have closed, what happens to customer care/support for their existing client base? Do B&O UK take care of this or is it left to other dealers?

I think in 2009 a lot more B&O shops will close - most are franchise, and the not so good, and the poorly located will disappear as natural wastage...

Yup,  both Perth and Stirling closed. Not sure how this will affect the local customers as the next outlet is Glasgow...

I wonder whether any sales that could have been made by these stores will now go to either Glasgow or Edinburgh or just be lost to the brand. It is a sad day when a dealer gives up.

I can't believe this - I was speaking to Andy from Stirling just a few weeks back, and heard no hint of the store closing....

If this is true I'd like to wish the teams at both stores the best of luck with their next positions, whatever they may be. 🤒
