Shackleford Pianos is tuning up for growth after being selected by German manufacturer Feurich as its distribution centre for the UK.

The Macclesfield business, which was launched in 2008 by Aaron Shackleford, sells, restores and services pianos. It also has a removal and hiring service for concerts, weddings and other special occasions.

Macclesfield was chosen as a location by Feurich as it is cheaper to distribute from Cheshire than Liverpool or London.

As part of the deal Shackleford, which employs seven staff, will prepare the pianos by fine- tuning them and will distribute them to UK customers.

Aaron said: "We are very proud to be recognised by Feurich to have the ability to not only prepare their pianos but to deal with the logistics of distributing them nationwide.

"We believe that this is an important move by a European company and puts Macclesfield firmly on the map when it comes to pianos." See the full story here: http://menmedia.co.uk/
