Cardiff Business Awards 2021

Jon Howes, Nic Pow, 2nd and 3rd from left, and Richard Evans, right, are presented with the Aaward for Third Sector Organisation of the Year.

Once again it was time for members of the Cardiff Cycle Workshop team to put their workshop aprons and overalls to one side, scrub under their fingernails and dress appropriately, as we had been nominated in two categories at this years Cardiff Business Awards. Our categories were Green Business of the Year and Third Sector Organisation of the Year (Third Sector is new name for the voluntary sector; charities, social enterprises, community organisations and the like).

We were fortunate enough to win the Third Sector award, but the Green Business award went to Genesis Biosciences, who were also sat at our table. They went on to win two more awards, including Cardiff Business of the Year, which took the sting out of losing to them a bit. They were obviously  a great candidate. We are, of course, over the moon to win in our category. It’s a testament to the talent and dedication of the staff and volunteers who really make our enterprise tick. We cannot thank them enough!

For a full list of the winners and the nominees, go to the Cardiff Business Awards page.

Congratulations to all our fellow winners and nominees. See you next year we hope….

“Sustainability has worked with CTW successfully for a number of years, with sessions every month on Campus. They provide bike servicing for staff, students and the local community as part of our free Repair Café events. It’s a service to all to promote sustainable cycle travelling to Campus and the benefits of repair. They are so knowledgeable and as well as fixing on site they provide great friendly honest advice.”

I had an amazing time here! Russ and Andy were super helpful, I was able to test out multiple bikes and get all the expert advice I needed to be sure in my choice. They were very kind and welcoming! I would definitely recommend getting a bike here!!

“Great place to go to get yourself a bike. No need to spend hundreds just get one second hand. Good communication, they even adjust the seat and handlebars to suit your height etc. My partner is very pleased with her bike and it looks brand new! Highly recommended.”

I’d just like to say a massive ‘Thank You’ to the boys and girls at Cardiff Cycle workshop. They’ve done absolute wonders for my bike over the years! It’s was an old heavy Peugeot which I bought from new in about 1990. Although I used it regularly, it was getting too heavy for me, so the team changed the wheels for ones that were much lighter; put some super duper tyres on them, and on top of that, replaced the old hard saddle for a brand new very comfortable one. I make sure that I get my bike serviced regularly with them too. Such a friendly bunch too-always time for a chat. There is nothing they don’t know about bikes. Highly recommended!

Sara McGaughey

Everything was explained in a manner so we could all understand, regardless of experience. 

Excellent range of tools and bikes for testing.

Andy Campbell

“We visited today and picked a bike for my 6 year-old. He got to try it out and you fixed the brakes as they were a bit squeaky! Very covid safe! Excellent bike and my boy loves it. Great it has a 3-month warranty too!”

Tegan Partner

Just had a great experience from the team at Cardiff Cycle Workshop. They always do a thorough job but recently went above and beyond on my Specialized gravel bike. It had a very specific, proprietary headset that was difficult to maintain. But with perseverance the bike now works flawlessly! Highly recommended.

Rhydian Yeoman

Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Great to see people who take real pride in what they do. Pricing is very fair and turn around is efficient.

Tom Griffiths

Just brilliant! First time using this brilliant place and I love everything about it. Popped my son’s bike down to look at the brakes and fixed it within seconds. I’ll definitely be heading taking all our bikes there for repair and services. Guys were all super helpful and lovely. What a find!!

Marietta Price

The tutors are very patient and teach in a way that is easily understood.
