In this conversation, I speak to Will Butler-Adams OBE, CEO of Brompton. Will joined the company in 2002 aged 28, when it had around 40 employees; he became Director in 2006 and took over as Managing Director in 2008. During his time, Brompton has become a global brand with over a million customers and has grown from £2million to £130 million turnover. Brompton made its Millionth bike in November 2022 and now exports 80% of its products to over 30 countries round the world. @Will_Brompton@BromptonBicycle - https://t.co/FbppUyMQPg

When @RBKC commission an independent report from @centreforlondon then invite them to hear how council leadership is distorting & misusing their report…
The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.

What if we designed cities, and the land-uses, densities and infrastructure that make them what they are, so that daily activity and exercise was just an obvious and ordinary part of every day life?
It’s actually not that hard. You just have to change priorities. #HealthyCities
