Since the early 1990s, British Cycling has operated out of the HSBC UK National Cycling Centre in Manchester.
The centre was expanded in 2011 with the construction of an indoor BMX track and new offices for British Cycling, thanks to an additional £24 million investment from Manchester City Council, Sport England and the European Regional Development Fund to firmly establish Manchester as the home of cycling.
Backing this is a 250-strong workforce to encourage and support customers, commuters, and colleagues to ride their bikes and improve all forms of cycling in communities nationwide.

Our goal
With the ambition to progress with a Cloud strategy in 2019 and continue its growing success as the world’s leading cycling federation, British Cycling required further IT support and looked to trusted provider Nasstar to extend their contract with an enhanced Managed Services offering.
