This year, Team Auctus is proud to support the Royal British Legion (RBL) in its flagship event, Pedal to Ypres. 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 280km challenge.
This year’s team consists of two riders. It will feature Richard Toy and Darren Simms.
The Pedal to Ypres cycling challenge is a 280km event starting from Dover and passing through key historical regions of France and Belgium. The event is a difficult challenge that requires significant training and preparation.
Owayo manufactured the team’s jersey. It features the RBL logo and the soldiers’ silhouettes, which were created as a reminder of the Fallen and those who continue to serve. The marketing team created the custom jersey in-house and prominently displays the logos of 10 corporate sponsors.
