Alan Finch

Alan has worked in the cycle industry for over 17 years.  He started off specialising in training, where he wrote and set up the first government funded NVQ which was subsequently introduced nationwide.  He also developed bespoke cycle training courses for both manufacturers and enthusiasts, which meant he was responsible for the training of over 1500 cycle mechanics across the UK.

More recently Alan moved into the retail sector, where he specialised in road and triathlon custom builds.  This involved fitting customers correctly to their new bikes and building them to a high standard to ensure customers got maximum enjoyment and performance from their new machines.  Alan has also built race bikes for teams and individuals competing at National Premier Calendar level.

In his spare time Alan can often be spotted getting the miles in on his road bike.  He has ridden Tour of Flanders sportive, and also the Marmotte (arguably the most difficult sportive around...)

Ceri Dipple

Ceri has worked in the cycle industry for 9 years.  Whilst the majority of this time has been spent in retail, she has also spent time working for a bicycle manufacturer.  During her time in the cycle industry, Ceri has travelled to Spain and Switzerland to visit the people who design and test the bikes and see the processes bikes go through before they are seen in a showroom.

Ceri rides both road and mountain bikes in her spare time, and has been known to race occasionally!  She has completed the Tour of Flanders sportive as well as the Marmotte and has also won Dusk till Dawn female pairs in terrible conditions!  Something that she will never forget!
