Campbell Hicks wanted to create a Yamaha dealership second to none. “My goal is to have a dealership were customers feel comfortable so customers can walk in the door and get that “wow” factor, and to feel free to come in chat and look around”.
Campbell grew up on a dairy farm and along with his brother spent his youth off road riding with many leading off road riders. He has dairy farming qualifications and experience, along with a business degree.
