JORDAN – SALES EXECUTIVE


I joined Youles Manchester in January 2023, I have an out and out passion for riding motorbikes, a natural born risk taker as my acquisition of a Speed Triple 1200RR would indicate.

I have had the pleasure of combining travel and biking on a few occasions, having recently spent time in the north of Vietnam exploring the mountains and jungle on a bike. Quality.

More than happy to help anyone, come in and join the family.
