DAVID enjoyed a long career working for a global medical devices manufacturer. On a three year posting to the United States in 2002 he rediscovered his love for road cycling. On his return to working in Europe from 2005 he uncovered the thrill of riding in Mallorca.
It was on regular training camp visits over the next few years that David got to know former professional racer Alastair Irvine who was a vast resource of knowledge about everything cycling and especially riding in Mallorca.
When given the opportunity to leave the medical devices world, David jumped at the chance of a work/lifestyle change and set up SunVelo with Alastair.
The company has gone from strength to strength and is now one of the UK’s leading cycling holiday tour operators. While many travel companies have suffered in our new Covid world, SunVelo has not just switched off the lights and waited for things to start again but has tested alternative routes and researched new destinations to offer customers. It’s no longer just Mallorca.
In asking David what has led to the success of SunVelo, his answer is: “it is all about the people…..we are very fortunate in that we have an amazing team of people that ride lead for us every year and a fabulous and loyal customer base that really appreciate our approach to cycling as delivered by our experienced ride leader team.”
“We have a culture that is inclusive, it doesn’t matter at what level you ride a bike, whether you travel solo, with a partner, a friend or in a group, when you step off the plane you are immediately part of the sociable SunVelo family. We are not just a holiday tour operator with bikes, we are a cycling business run by cyclists for cyclists.”
“We ride together as a team and never leave anyone behind!”
