British Cycling claims to have achieved “significant commercial growth” in the last 12 months. Last year, the body secured a major, long-term partnership with UK bank Lloyds.

The agreement was described as one of the largest such commercial deals in UK sport covering a national governing body, worth a reported £20 million ($25 million).

Lloyds became the first British Cycling lead commercial partner since global bank HSBC – that relationship ended in mid-2021, earlier than had originally been planned when an eight-year deal was struck in 2016.

The national cycling body’s partnership portfolio also includes Shell, Skoda, Shimano, Isobar, and Renishaw.
