We've been very quiet on the socials, sorry guys, but rest assured we have been mega busy behind the scenes, and as our customers will agree, our customer service has always been paramount over posting pictures

We sponsored one of our long time customers Nigel Swales, who has just taken part in a challenge,

Riding a motorbike on a £600 budget, Lands end to John O'Groats, in 24 hours, on the longest day of the year,

1034 miles, with a reroute along the way taking it to 25 hrs and 40mins.

Nigel did this on behalf of his son Leo, who in March 2023 was born sleeping at 21 weeks. Baby loss is not spoken about enough, but this is in memory of him and also Nigel's friend whom he lost to cancer 30 years ago (JJ). Both are gone but never forgotten.

I'm sure you will agree this is an amazing feat, I will link Nigel's links below

Thanks,
SMD
