18 MAY 2014 PRO INSTALLER PRO NEWS www.proinstaller.co.uk THE GLASS HARDWARE & ACCESSORIES SPECIALIST SOLIDOR’S SPONSORSHIP ON WHEELS Composite door pioneer, Solidor, is now taking its branding to the road and track, thanks to the launch of BH-Solidor-WAM Youth, a Pro/Elite bike team based in the Cotswolds. With bicycles supplied by the Spanish BH brand and many other sponsors, the team, run and owned by Iain McInnes of McInnes Communications Ltd, along with three support staff and a team of 13 riders, is already building an impressive reputation in the UK peloton. As well as riding the Elite series in the UK, the highest domestic racing standard, the team will also ride the Tour of Malta and the Ras Mumhan, Ireland. They have also been offered a guest spot at the Tour Series, to be televised on ITV 4 during May and June. Great exposure for Solidor whose MD, Gareth Mobley said: “It’s great to be involved in sponsoring a team and as I’m a passionate cyclist as is our PR man Iain McInnes. I’m particularly looking forward to seeing the team race round the streets of Stoke in May, just a few miles from the factory.’ www.bh-solidor-wamyouth.co.uk. Twitter following @BH_Solidor_WAM.

Steve Clarke, group marketing manager, said: “If you pay 4p per litre less for diesel, you save £300 on 7,500 litres, which explains why pump price fuel cards are falling out of favour. Van users enjoy having to answer the £300 question.” Steve has seen a sudden increase in enquiries about The Fuelcard People’s commercial rate fuel cards, which offer significant discounts on every major brand. He suggests that this was almost inevitable, in the wake of recent activity by a pump price fuel card supplier. “After years of trying to talk down the obvious benefits of fixed price fuel cards, the market has made them accept reality,” he said. “Now, they admit, ‘If you can’t beat them, join them,’ by launching their own version of a dis- count fuel card. They even suggest that their existing pump price customers should carry both cards – it proves that our approach to cutting van fuel costs was right all along.” T: 0844 870 6942 thefuelcardpeople.co.uk
