OVERBURY GROUP Perfect format, weather ideal, and our pro Peter Kennaugh was an absolute superstar – so natural talking about anything from Tour De France to mental health! Looking forward to next year already.
HAYS Terrific day out - beautiful route, The closest I will ever get to a Pro experience, the day was capped off by David Millar, it was just a real pleasure to listen to him talk so humbly and emotionally about his incredible achievements and also shed some light on his darker days throughout his career.
JULIUS BAER Thank you for the cracking day with Jo Rowsell – probably our best yet I’d say. Great new route, sunshine, and Jo was an absolute superstar, As always the ride support was top class. Our clients loved it.
MICROSOFT What a great day! Congratulations on making such an innovative and fresh event. The Velodrome format was excellent and provided a lot of entertainment, competition and networking opportunities.” On a personal level I had a great time and found it an amazing experience where your competitive instincts are put to the test and the adrenaline rush was fantastic!
TIMBERLAND The best corporate event we have ever ran. The Velo event was quickly oversubscribed and the post event feedback has been so positive with many new connections made and business opportunities opened up.
