Hello chaps,

I'm not a biker and I've never posted in here before, feels weird I did have a 260 Beta trial bike back in the late 80's though if it gives me any biking credentials...!

Anyway, I'm after some help if possible in drawing up a list of bike related businesses in a specific area.

A bit of background:

I'm a headhunter in my day job but also work with a charity called Mission Motorsport (http://www.missionmotorsport.org" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) - they're a military charity who focus on getting wounded service guys into racing and support work in any kind of area be it bikes, cars, racing speedboats etc.

I'm into classic rallying and Mission Motorsport provided me with a top navigator for my last rally - he got us on the podium on his first ever outing - bit of a legend!



I've just started working with another of their guys - he's a great lad, mid 20's, bike crazy, Afghan vet and amputee (though can still ride). He's based in Shepton Mallet, Somerset and I want to speak with firms of the following kind about seeing him with a view to getting him a job.

1) Bike sellers
2) Bike service
3) Bike parts / mods companies
4) Bike racing teams
5) Bike trialling
6) Anything else to do with biking

The issue I have is coming up with a list of places to contact and this is where I would really appreciate some assistance.

Please feel free to list below places you may know that are within about a 20 mile distance of Shepton Mallet. That is essentially:

Bath to the north
Weston-super-Mare to the west
Yeovil to the south
Warminster to the east

Any help will be really, massively appreciated. Really we'll consider anything at all to do with bikes so nothing will be too out there.

Thanks guys.

hi there, i have been involved with misson motorsports through talan and his bike experience charity. i will keep bumping this up for you to keep it current, and contact some local bike buisnesses to see if they can help in any way. all the best to you, and perhaps we may see your new client at castle combe next year.(if he"s been to the bike experience we"ve probably already met)
