• Generous discounts on our products
• Cycle to Work Scheme that offers discounted bikes and cycling equipment.
• Donate through your pay to a charity of your choice. The money is simply deducted through your pay before tax, so for every pound you donate, the 20p that usually goes to tax will go to the charity instead!
• We also have a range of employee assistance services which can be tailored to give you support on various matters such as financial, health and wellbeing advice.
• We treat our teams to a free meal every few months, from our visiting fish & chip van, to freshly made bacon baps from our in‑house chefs
