“We are thrilled to have such an experienced and valuable talented individual joining our team at Parcours,” said Parcours founder Dov Tate.
“Throughout her career to date, Amy has demonstrated an incredible talent for both business and cycling, and will be a true asset to our brand.
“Our team is rapidly growing and we’re continuing to work with talented and like-minded new personnel following a recent round of investment, to help Parcours go from strength to strength.”
Marks added: “Parcours is such a well established and well-respected brand in the cycling world and I have seen how the business has grown over the years. I’m honoured to be joining the team and to be able to put my own spin on the marketing of these amazing wheelsets and make aerodynamics even more accessible to a wide range of riders.”
