HUUB parks up at Bikeworks

Derby-based triathlon wetsuit, clothing and accessories specialists HUUB Design has moved to Park Bikeworks in the Cathedral Quarter.

The ten-strong HUUB Design team have now moved their operations from Sinfin to Park Bikeworks.

They have been joined by three staff from its sister company HUUB Events, who are working with partners to organise a wide range of new events for the city including the Jenson Button Trust Triathlon on Sunday 17 July.

A start-up business supported by HUUB Design, Full Street Design creative agency, are also based at the premises.

Boardman Bikes, the British bicycle manufacturer founded by the professional cyclist Chris Boardman, will open its third UK showroom at Park Bikeworks in the coming weeks.

This will be closely followed by the opening of top French sunglasses and helmet manufacturer Ekoi’s first UK showroom.

Both brands support triathlon medal winners Alistair and Jonny Brownlee who are also part of the HUUB Design ‘family’ of athletes.

HUUB Design founder and owner Dean Jackson concluded: “As a growing company, Park Bikeworks fits with our aims of promoting fitness and participation in sport – particularly the triathlon disciplines of swim, bike and run.

“This is certainly a beautiful building in the heart of the city centre. Having outgrown our current premises in Sinfin, it gives us the space to further expand our operations in Derby in the future.”

Derby City Council says that secure cycle parking is still available at Park Bikeworks.
