Meet the Team

Brad Clarke, Director

I've been involved in the motorcycle industry for the last 11 years, and it's been an incredible journey. My interest in motorcycles started when I was a youngster racing motocross, but my career took a different path when I was selected for Aston Villa on a YTS. After being released, I spent the following years in non-league football with clubs such as Gresley Rovers, Stafford Rangers, and Rocester before signing again for Northwich Victoria, which gave me hopes of going full-time.

Unfortunately, a serious motorcycle accident ended my football career, but I didn't let it stop me. After a year out, I decided to put on the gloves and start boxing again, which I had done as an amateur as a teen. I had a few good wins and decided to join the paid ranks on the EBF circuit before returning to amateur boxing as my love for motorcycle racing was starting to take over again.

In 2015, I finished runner-up in the EMRA race series on board the GSX-R1000, and we missed half of the season in 2016, but still managed to finish second in the EMRA championship. We have also competed in British Superbikes, scoring 10 points in the blue riband class and finishing in the top ten in the stock 1000 class with Levi Day. We also managed to sign former World Supersport star Eemeli Lahti for the last three rounds of the previous season, which was an incredible experience.

One of the highlights of my racing career was finishing in the top 20 in my first road race at the International Northwest 200. It was an incredible experience, and I am grateful for the support of my team, who have helped me every step of the way.

Now, as a part of the Powerslide team, we have won numerous awards with Suzuki GB for Dealer of the Year. I am thrilled to be a part of a dealership that is committed to providing the best possible service and support to our customers. My commitment to motorcycling and dedication to providing exceptional customer service make me an invaluable member of the team. I look forward to continuing to play a significant role in our continued success.

Kieran, General Manager

My name is Kieran, and I have always had a passion for motorcycles. After completing my studies, I became an accredited technician, which allowed me to turn my passion into a career. I've been working in the industry for several years now and have gained a wealth of experience and knowledge.

One of the highlights of my career was when I acted as crew chief for Bjorn Estment during our time in BSB. It was an incredible experience, and I learned so much from working with such a talented rider. I was responsible for ensuring that the bike was in peak condition and worked tirelessly to ensure that Bjorn had everything he needed to perform at his best.

Currently, I am running the Derby branch of our dealership, which has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I take great pride in providing our customers with the best possible service and support, and I am committed to ensuring that every customer leaves our dealership satisfied.

In addition to running the Derby branch, I am also working as a technician for Binch Racing at this year's BSB. It's an exciting opportunity to work with such a talented team and rider, and I am confident that we will achieve great things together.

My dedication to the industry and my commitment to providing exceptional service make me an invaluable member of our team. I look forward to continuing to push myself to be the best that I can be and to contribute to the success of our dealership and the teams that we work with.
