boxxe: Official IT Partner of British Cycling

At boxxe, we're all about making tech human and as the official IT partner of British Cycling, we're using this opportunity to use cycling to challenge ourselves, promote health and wellbeing and build teamwork. Accessing the outdoors and nature is core to our wellbeing and cycling is a great way to get out there! 

We make it a priority to support our team with a robust health and wellness programme of initiatives; such as flexible remote working culture, wellness hours, counselling, mental health first aiders and a cycle-to-work scheme.  

Cycling embodies physical challenge and team spirit, and by partnering with British Cycling, we hope to inspire our employees to push their boundaries. Through the sponsorship our employees can also volunteer at British Cycling events across England. 

We’ll be supporting 10 scholars annually through a scholarship program with British Cycling. The scholarship programme offers a funded and supported route for individuals to develop their coaching skills and inspire wider participation in cycling. Participants in the scheme receive comprehensive training to become coaches and sport leaders. The scholarship aims to promote inclusivity and break down barriers in the sport, providing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for professional and personal development learning alongside the British Cycling coaching team.

Christine White's journey through the Scholarship Programme has been transformative. She has relished the chance to expand her coaching skills and connect with a global network. Growing up in a family of cyclists, some of her earliest memories are around cycling. This deep-rooted passion led her and her husband to own a bike shop from 2007 for ten years. Her dedication to the sport is evident through her voluntary coaching for the last decade at a club she created in 2012, before being accepted onto the scholarship.

The year-long programme has provided Christine with invaluable experiences. She has actively contributed to initiatives like the British Cycling ‘Limitless’ launch and worked alongside Great Britain Cycling Team coaches, which became the springboard for her to successfully access an intensive coaching education programme hosted by National Olympic Committees worldwide, with modules in the US and Switzerland. As a female coach, Christine is determined to grow communities and engage young people in cycling. The scholarship has propelled her into coaching for the Rwanda ’25 Project.

We're committed to making tech human by prioritising our employees' wellbeing. And our long-term vision is to continue promoting health and encouraging the spirit of challenge and teamwork.
