in his mother’s footsteps to be­ come a track cyclist, taking to the boards when he was just 14 years old. At 24, he has already won a bronze medal at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, two Senior World Championship medals, five European Championship ti­ tles and ten British titles. Following the appointment of BMW Group as the Official Au­ tomotive Partner of the London 2012 Games, Lloyd Colne have. been supporting Steven through­ out his training. The sponsor­


ship deal was designed to assist Steven in meeting his transporta­ tion needs and he was therefore provided with a top-of-the-range BMW 320d M Sport Coupe. Their continued support was recognised on Twitter as Steven tweeted, “I would like to thank my sponsor @LloydBMW for helping me become Olympic Champion! #BMW #GOLD #london2012” Upon his return to Lancashire, Steven is to be honoured as an Honorary Freeman of the Bor­ ough of Pendle. The local post box on Albert:Road, barely 300


meters from the dealership has already been painted gold and ' a commemorative gold medal stamp is to be issued by the Roy­ al Mail in light of his amazing achievement, the 7th gold stamp to be issued during the London 2012 Olympic Games. Lloyd Colne Dealer Principal, Michelle Caveney commented, “We are all delighted for Steven. “Not only is he a superb and driv­ en athlete, but he is also a really nice guy. We couldn’t be happier for him and look forward to cel­ ebrating with him at the dealer­ ship soon.”
