Hide AdM12 Solutions managing director Andrew Skipsey said: ‘I briefly met Dani at a Southampton Chamber event after the 2012 Olympics where she told her story. Inspired, I took up cycling and I even rode the length of the country in 2015.
‘When British Cycling tweeted that Dani was retiring I couldn’t think of a better person to help us get our message across – especially for our
internet brand Giganet – about the speed and performance of what we provide, of our excellence in ongoing customer support and the marginal gains customers can make to improve their profitability.
‘The fact that she grew up and trained locally makes her the perfect fit for M12. We really look forward to working with Dani to help us to better promote this message.’
