Chicken CycleKit has decided to build a dedicated Campagnolo training centre at its HQ in Leighton Buzzard, as part of its ongoing investment in the Campagnolo brand and its benefits to the UK IBD network.
The brand new 1,200 square foot facility is fully kitted out with workshop facilities and can cater for large groups of customers, with individual work stations to allow for a ‘hands-on’ training experience. The facility will be staffed by four Chicken Cyclekit/Campagnolo accredited technicians to provide training and support to the dealer base.
Chicken CycleKit commercial director Mike Catlin said: “Campagnolo is a technical brand that needs an educated dealer base to provide consumers with the best support. It was appropriate we made the investment in the training centre to ensure our customers could be suitably skilled to take advantage of this opportunity.”
Training sessions have already commenced, and Paul at Criterium Cycles said: “The training session was delivered to an excellent standard, I thought the ability to get hands on experience with the equipment was perfect. All in all, this was a very well-done event.”
Dealers investing in the Campagnolo demo bike initiative, launched last week, are encouraged to build one of these specially priced bikes at a training session in the new facility.
Campagnolo 2020 product training is also available via Velotech Cycling in addition to the other Campagnolo courses they currently run.
