During Don’s tenure at the helm, West Coast has grown from being a small (but powerful) dealership to the UK’s #1 in 2020. He’s been involved in the motorcycle business since starting Scotbike in 1979 and then when the opportunity arose to join West Coast in 2003 he grabbed it with both hands. He has a passion for detail and CXI – or in other words keeping our customers happy! Don is now working with the senior management team at West Coast as our Executive Director and is still very passionate about our business.
As part of our continued growth, West Coast Harley-Davidson is delighted to welcome David Hackshall as our new Managing Director (effective end of May 2021).

So far his favourite is the Softail Heritage Classic and likes nothing better than to spend a full day out on a bike. A family man who's made his way down fae Aberdeen and stayed in Glasgow - Abderdeens loss is our gain! Welcome to the team Bruce - great to have you here.
Scott joined West Coast in March 2018, a keen Harley man Scott brings a wealth of automotive experience to the team. He's had his licence since he was a wee laddie and his first bike was a Honda CB250 Super Dream. Don't let that fool you he's ridden a few Harley's in his time and has owned a Sportster 48. His current favourite from our demo line up is a Fatbob because of the power, torque and noise it makes - give's him a cheeky grin. A frequent "Bike of the Week" presenter, you can catch Scott on our Facebook and Insta channels. Be sure to stop by and have a chat with him about any bike in our range.

You’ve probably heard this on more than occasion – “looking after our customers is of paramount importance to us and we know the value of a great customer experience”. John is a seasoned campaigner in the automotive industry and in particular the Aftersales role. He oversees our Parts & Accessories, Motorcycle Service departments and his role is to ensure that we’re focused on delivering a top notch customer experience every time. Since joining the team in June 2015, John has fully submerged himself into the motorcycling way of life and has recently just upgraded his 2020 Softail Breakout (supposed to be his forever bike) for a 2021 Road Glide Special - which we think is a fantastic choice! John’s role is to ensure his team deliver the highest standards of customer care and it’s not by chance that West Coast were awarded the UK’s #1 top dealership in 2020. John recently received another honour by becoming the first person in the H-D Network to become a qualified Master of Service

Part of The West Coast Way is to promote our staff from within and that’s what happened when we appointed Darren from his previous role as a Technician to become our Customisation Specialist in the frontline of the business.

He is very much involved in our custom bike building programme, playing his part in design as bikes develop along the way and in 2020 he was responsible for building the UK Battle of The Kings winner, Bad Hombre. Like most of our employees Darren’s passion means he doesn’t just work from 9 to 5 through the week, he’s always looking at what’s happening in the motorcycling world around the globe. This means keeping an eye on what’s trending, an example being a Club Style Low Rider S with a Turbo Kit! Darren is definitely the man to make your custom dreams come true. Give him a call!
