Stage 6 of the Tour of Britain rolled through the Devon countryside this afternoon. As many of the team are keen cyclists; GB Card & Partners Exeter took advantage of the occasion and headed out to the village of Ide in order to catch the last leg of the 149.9 Km route through Devon! Our mileage from the office wasn’t as impressive but a fantastic opportunity to see the pro’s in action!

GB Card & Partners recently attended the ICE South West Awards held at the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth.

This formed the finale to a three day visit to the region by Sir John Armitt, President of the ICE, starting in Bristol, followed by a debate hosted by ICE Exeter City Club and dinner afterwards for the debate team and committee members.

GB Card & Partners supported Sir John’s travel arrangements by flying him and some of the committee from Exeter to Newquay for a lunch with local industry leaders before the awards dinner in the evening.

Thank you to Podbury IT Services and Freedom Aviation for providing the aircraft and pilots!
