The Brompton is a personal transport solution, allowing people to rethink and vary and adapt their journeys at will; their Brompton sets them free from the constraints imposed by the combustion engine, city planners, the weather, public transport administrators, bike thieves and countless other layers of complexity. The Brompton owner is free and independent – she chooses where to go and when and how.”

About the Teleseminar

Andrew Ritchie invented not only the best folding bike available but also created new way of thinking about how we move around in our world. Just like his bicycle, he has journeyed through ups and downs to see his brainchild mature into a thriving award winning business, finding support from family and friends when the financial environment was hostile and unreceptive. He is inventive, interesting and inspiring standing for personal freedom, independence and enjoyment. Brompton is a private company allowing it to focus on the product without having to please external investors. Each year Brompton hosts its very own Brompton World Championships at Blenheim Palace, bringing together the global Brompton family in the spirit of its iconic mode of transport.

In this Regally Graceful Teleseminar we will explore how Andrew saw the potential of the idea of the folding bike and got on with making it happen. We’ll also look at how making your customers feel like one big family and how your company, when privately held, allows you to take advantage of nifty little turns in fortune. We’ll also look at why bicycling is so important for our own health and development, and that of our cities and countrysides, and how when we can carry our own transport you start to peddle your own life. Owning a Brompton is one of the best things in my (and Millie-Pup’s) life.
