30 Years Of Wheels, Mowers And Motors

Ingham Motorcycles and Mowers has been owned and operated by the same family since 1994, which means the team are now celebrating their 30th year of servicing the community together. 
 
Christine Pagliuso, current owner of Ingham Motorcycles and Mowers, bought the business from her father Franco, in 2022. 
 
When her parents first purchased the store, it was called Ingham Motorcycles and Marine, specialising in motorcycles, boating and camping equipment. It was some years later that her father Franco sold the marine side of the business, choosing to concentrate on power equipment instead. And so, Ingham Motorcycles and Mowers was born.
 
Christine, now owner of the store, has been working at the store since 1998 and knows the store inside and out. She has even completed a motorcycle and small engine mechanical trade certificate. Her sister Karen works alongside her, after returning to Ingham in 2005.

“Being women in a male dominated industry has its challenges but my sister and I have been doing this for a long time and we know our products,” said Christine.
 
Ingham Motorcycles and Mowers has been in the Pagliuso family for over three decades and Christine believes it is due to the standard that they set.
 
“We maintain the same level of sales and workshop support that we always have for the local community and surrounding areas,” said Christine
 
“I have three full-time mechanics out there at the moment, two qualified technicians, and one third-year apprentice.
 
“We repair everything that we sell, plus many brands of motorcycles, mowers, generators, all the power equipment.”
 
“What sets us apart is our good quality honest service, reasonable rates and a quick turnaround of work.”
 
Christine was born and raised in the area and she loves the region, saying it is a great place to live. Above all, however, Christine loves supporting her local community, staff and customers. 
 
Her love for the staff shines through and customers of the store always experience a warm greeting when they come through the doors.
