Dominic Langan, CEO of Madison and Sportline, said: “All UK based Madison and Sportline area sales managers are fully employed and focused wholly on either the Madison or Sportline distributed brands. The restructuring and transition from sales agents to employed staff has taken place over the last couple of years in order to ensure we are able to offer our customers the best service possible and a level of service that we can be proud of. “This process is now complete. Our field-based staff are there to focus solely on our network of specialist bicycle retailers and no one else.” All three new Sales Managers will be at iceBike, an opportunity for them to meet both new and familiar faces.
Andrea Parish, Cycling Time Trials Andrea Parish has been elected chair of Cycling Time Trials Ltd after serving for one year as a director. She has been time trialling herself since 2010 and will continue to compete.
Cycling Time Trials (CTT) was formed as a company in 2002, after existing as the Road Time Trials Council since 1937. Parish is looking forward to leading a campaign to bring new and returning competitors to the sport, after a fallback in participation in recent years. CTT is responsible for the organisation of all forms of cycling time trials in the UK, whether on road, hill climbs, closed- circuits or off-road. Recently, many traditional fast courses have been lost due to road changes and increased traffic levels. Newer courses tend to use quieter, single-carriageway and more rural roads. Parish aims to encourage the use of computer software to enhance riders’ experience across a wide range of offerings from a rider ranking system, race results, to course, date, time and weather specific aerodynamic analysis. This is being achieved by working with IT Partners Spindata, ResultSheet and MyWindsock.
The sport of time trialing is rapidly changing and Parish expects to greet many newcomers during the coming seasons.
