In an article published in the Guardian earlier this year, Cycloc revealed that the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union, which prior to Brexit accounted for 50 per cent of its business, had cost it a quarter of its turnover. They have struggled with the additional resource cost, admin, bureaucracy-wise and so that’s why you end up at a point where exports of construction products to the EU are still more than one-third lower than before.” Brexit and the bike industry: we ask UK brands, retailers and distributors how the new rules are affecting them Cycloc have been an innovator in design-led bicycle storage solutions since we launched our first product in 2006. Since then, we've created a family of award-winning products that allow people to integrate cycling into their homes and workplaces. This is something we are immensely proud of, especially as an entirely self-funded venture, manufacturing exclusively in the UK. A government spokesperson said: “Increases in the cost of construction products and materials, as well as in wages are challenges that are being faced by other countries around the world, as a result of the impact of the COVID-19pandemic and strong demand during the period of economic recovery.

On the demand side the failure to provide a rational system for economic migration aligned to our national interest is a clear failure of government. The old idea that we need more people to boost our industrial output is not very convincing given the automation that is usual in manufacturing. Andrew says the firm is now – in addition to its existing direct customer market – building an active strategy focussed on built-environment stakeholders.
