Fujitsu pumped after cycling success

UK: Fujitsu General Air Conditioning UK is pumped up after a record breaking year for the UK cycle racing team it sponsors.

Fujitsu became a sponsor of the Arctic Aircon Racing Team this summer and has seen the team set a new UK competition team record for the 100-mile time trial distance, individual and team wins in time trials on the road, plus fifth place in the Pan-Celtic 1,500-mile unsupported individual race.

One of the premier UK cycle racing teams, the Arctic Aircon Racing Team can trace its history back to 1997 and its establishment by Peter Ruffhead, MD of London-based contractor Arctic Air Con.

Fujitsu’s area business development manager Giles Pratt said: “We are proud to provide support to such a successful team in a sport that requires such teamwork and dedication, adding to the already valued partnership we have with Arctic Aircon.”
