Poll: Would you attend a local ACT event?

Posted on in Business News , Cycles News , Polls & Results

The ACT will be celebrating 100 years in 2015. In those 100 years the ACT has come a long way in supporting specialist retailers and their supply partners, helping to secure the long term future of the cycle trade, but could we be doing more?

ACT logoThe Association of Cycle Traders, best known as the ACT, is the largest cycle trade organisation in the UK representing the interests of almost 4000 businesses involved in the cycle industry through promotion, business support, skills and the development of cycling.

Did you know, there are currently over 25 essential business services available to members of the ACT? Each one has been specially selected to save your business money, increase your sales or provide you with support when you need it the most.

Weekly news, social media updates and a team of knowledgeable staff are always on hand to help inform you of everything we are doing, but we understand that absorbing all the information given to you whilst running a retail business is not easy.

We know that face-to-face meetings are proven to be the best method to get across our full offering and find out how we can help each individual business.

"I've been a member for many years and I was taken aback by just how much ActSmart have to offer. After spending just 10 minutes talking to Tony at Core Bike I feel my membership fee is worth every penny." - Simon Davis, Webb's of Warmley
