Last, an advocate for greener and healthier commuting options, has a wealth of experience in the employee benefit industry and a lifelong passion for cycling. Hailing from a mining town in the Swansea Valleys, he developed a love for cycling at a young age. In the mid-90s, he championed cycling to work with daily paper rounds on his Raleigh Activator. His dedication to cycling continued throughout his life and in his current role as commercial and strategy director at wellbeing and employee benefits provider, Vivup.
Last believes in sustainable and inclusive employee benefits, with an emphasis on promoting Cycle to Work schemes. Commenting on his new role, Last said: “My objectives in this role are simple. I want every business in the UK to offer a Cycle to Work Scheme, increase participation, and I want to remove the barriers stopping people from cycling to work regularly, which include secure storage in towns and cities and improved infrastructure that enables safer cycling between destinations.”
