As a business, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedyreg.co.uk\/\">Speedy Registrations Ltd <\/a>has come a long way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedyreg.co.uk\/\">Speedy Reg<\/a> story began back in 1984, when Frankie Goes to Hollywood were telling us to Relax, we learnt who to call if there was something strange in the neighbourhood and we said goodbye to the pound note and the halfpenny. Back then, in a lowly shed, Des Elton started out with an idea, little did he know how this idea would soon grow&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ten years later and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedyreg.co.uk\/\"> Speedy Reg<\/a> became the market leader for private number plates, and it wasn\u2019t long before it was necessary to move out of the garden shed and into more conducive premises. We needed new offices, and we needed plenty of space. So our new purpose built offices were created and we moved into them in 1997. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with all spaces, the more you have, the more you fill it,\nand that\u2019s certainly the case here, with over 6000 motorcycles storing our\nstock plates. It\u2019s a very impressive collection that keeps on growing, as the\nnumber of dateless registrations we have also grows. For our director Des, and\nthe team who look after the bikes, they\u2019re more than simply a plate repository.\nA trip round our storage facility is a journey through motorcycle history, with\nsome bikes dating back to the mid 19<sup>th<\/sup> century, and each one\ncarefully looked after, cherished and restored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, our reputation has grown, and our business\nhas expanded. This has enabled us to take on more staff and continually offer\nyou the fast, efficient, knowledgeable and friendly customer service of which\nwe are very proud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So now we are here in 2019, with 2020 just around the\ncorner. We have our five star Trust Pilot rating, we are still the market\nleader for plates in Northern Ireland so where can we go from here? In 2020\nwe\u2019ll be working hard to ensure we maintain our great reputation and that each\nand every customer is 100% happy with our service. We\u2019re always looking to the\nfuture, embracing new ideas and new technologies. Where will the future take\nus? That remains to be seen, but it\u2019s certainly exciting to think about! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At this time of year, we often get a little nostalgic and take a look back in time, to see where we\u2019ve been and then to look ahead to try and catch a glimpse of the future.
