Bowman always has, and always will celebrates diversity. For everyone here, it's a fundamental belief that a staff compromising of people with the widest possible variety of experiences and backgrounds is fundamental to the continued growth of not just us as a company but, also to the great activity we're actively trying to promote.

We may be one of the smaller bicycle and cycling companies and currently, because of this scale, we know the diversity of the staff is not representative of our hopes and world view. Neither is it a great indicator of the firmly held beliefs of each and every member of the team and of how we value the importance of a wide gamut of experiences and backgrounds.

But, with every hire, every person here at HQ will be doing everything we can to ensure the diversity within our workforce represents as wide a spectrum of humanity as possible. To that end, we also welcome feedback and advice, especially from people and groups who feel we could do better by them.

Great bikes and good people make the world a better place.

When we moved into our new space this year, a key element in our plan was to develop somewhere people could spend time. This is not simply so we can have a lovely place to come visit Bowman and check out the latest bikes and frames, or set up a demo ride, but also so we can open up cycling.

A strong driver for us here at Bowman is the wish to open up cycling to people who may previously have found it difficult to engage with, or who may have had some issues or tensions in their previous interactions.

Bowman HQ is open and available for each and every cycling community to use if they have similar goals, that is - growing the whole cake.

We're here to support and provide a metaphorical and physical safe space to help you grow your cycling group or project.

So, if this may be of help to you - get in touch.

(The opening of the safe space is always subject to current Covid 19 safety restrictions and may be paused or postponed to ensure staff, public and users are comfortable with its ongoing use)

Bowman is proud to have signed up to the

RAR Cycling Industry Pledge.
