I'd like to thank Mark Foster for his help and support as well as all the celebrities who came along and all the competitors who made the day such a great success.

With a little over six weeks planning time, the project was delivered by All for Good, in partnership with Mel Berry from Very Berry. Working together, we secured support from De Vere Hotels and Venues, as well as Cycling specialists Wiggle, with significant backing also received from Vertex, Get Cycling, Sheffield City Council and many others on route, as the group passed through Nottingham, Loughborough, Leicester, Stratford, Oxford, Reading and various points in London.
Media coverage was widespread and incredibly positive through the efforts of Sue Mott and David Welch Management. Cycle 250 on the road to London

“At a time when UK Sport has had to develop its commercial strategy to a new level, the advice and support provided by All for Good has been excellent. The advantage they have is that they have a genuine understanding of both the sporting landscape and the commercial environment.

“The seamless and flawless delivery, enjoyed by hundreds of guests, is a tribute to the professionalism, dedication and tireless attention to detail that I know is required to deliver these events both at home and overseas. The added complexity of having to deal with TV broadcast of the event is a capability that few event organisations possess.
On a personal note, I have seen you build strong relationships with our guests, Olympians and our staff, and have watched you quickly establish them into united and passionate teams. Your position as speech writer, VIP babysitter, counsellor, referee, consulate general, chief of ceremonies and many other roles, will I am sure be used in support of our many varied and varied events” Derek Ward, Executive Vice-President, Atos Origin

All for Good delivered once again and our customers had a fantastic experience!" Rob Flanagan – Scottish & Newcastle
