This year, Team Auctus is proud to support the Royal British Legion (RBL) in their flagship event, Pedal to Paris. The team which comprises members from Auctus Management Group and its subsidiary businesses, RSS Infrastructure and INFRA Skills, are a week away from taking on the intense 460km challenge.
This year’s team consists of 9 riders. It will feature Richard Toy, Sean Harrison, Pankaj Kapoor, Paul Pashley, Ryan Spence, Steven Broadfield, Graham Talbot, David White, and Brian Hopkinson.
The Pedal to Paris cycling challenge is a 460km event occurring over four days. The event begins in London and finishes at the Champs Elysees in Paris. The event is a difficult challenge that requires significant training and preparation.
Scimitar Sports manufactured the team’s jersey. It features the RBL logo and the Unknown Tommy or Silent Soldier silhouette, which was created as a reminder of the Fallen and those who continue to serve. The custom jersey was created in-house by the marketing team and prominently displays the logos of 22 corporate sponsors.
