Current Ownership
 My name is Peter Webster and I am the new owner of KD Benches. I purchased a bench from Dennis to renovate a Honda VFR750 crash victim and made a remark to him that I would be interested in the business if he ever wanted to sell it. After a couple of months Dennis decided to sell me the business, as at 77 years of age he should be looking for something lighter. Not retiring, just something lighter !!!
I have relocated the business to Halifax in West Yorkshire where I work from a large open plan unit which makes the work flow easy and safe with room for expansion.
KD benches History
 The company was started by Mr Dennis Willows in 1993 when he retired from full time employment at the age of 65. This was at Whittlesey near Peterborough. He was responding to requests from his friends and fellow members of the local classic bike club to build some motorcycle benches for them as they were all 'Knocking on a bit to be sitting on the floor'. Their request was for a bench that was hydraulic in operation and not of the winch variety. He duly came up with the basic design you see today. The early versions did not have the safety frame that the current bench has, this was not introduced until 1995.

Objectives
My main objective is first class customer service, from talking to the customer on the phone or dealing quickly with mail or email enquiries, to getting the bench to your door at the agreed time in the same first class condition it left me at Halifax.
Market Place
The KD bench is positioned in the market place of motorcycle maintenance to give excellent value for money, the cost is low and the performance is high as is the quality, it is made in the UK from UK produced steel.
