Raise the profile of your business with Aviva Women’s Tour

Derbyshire businesses are being offered a unique opportunity to raise their profile by sponsoring the Aviva Women’s Tour − the world’s most prestigious women’s cycling event.

The Aviva Women’s Tour takes place in June, and Stage 3 heads for Derbyshire on Friday 17 June 2016 when the world’s top female cyclists will race from Ashbourne to Chesterfield. This is being billed as the toughest part of the race.

The stage will race through the heart of the Peak District National Park including Buxton, Chatsworth, Youlgreave and Matlock, before the finish in Chesterfield.

There are a variety of sponsorship packages on offer to enable businesses to get their name in front of thousands of people watching the race.

Organisations will be able to have their logo displayed at the start and finish of the event and VIP hospitality. Global TV coverage of the event is planned, and companies will be able to meet some of the competitors. Businesses will also be offered a track session at Derby Velodrome.

Derbyshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Highways, Transport and Infrastructure, Councillor Dean Collins, said:

“We’re delighted to be welcoming the Women’s Tour to Derbyshire for the first time, and are keen to hear from any local business who want to make the most of this opportunity.

“Hosting this prestigious sporting event will put Derbyshire on the cycling tourism map, and we hope it will also give local businesses a chance to enhance their profile at the same time.”
