Andrew,a keen triathlete, started in the bike industry with Chain Reaction Cycles and later Planet X Bikes and Go Outdoors.
He commented: “The combination of great facilities at Willowbank Business Park backed by an excellent business support team at LEDCOM was a key factor for me when deciding where to locate Mango Bikes.
“I’ve also benefited from participation in a range of council support programmes such as KickStart.”
