Making friends over the handle bars

An intrepid group of FEC Energy staff set off from Amsterdam today, to cycle 300km across the Netherlands, as part of an event organised by one of our close trading partners.

Elisa, Jon, Oli, Mick and Jon’s brother, Matthew, all signed up to take part the “Jules Energy and Friends Cycling Adventure”.  The group of cyclists started out in Amsterdam at 10:30 am this morning; they will ride to Soest on the first day, Delft on the second day and will finish back in Amsterdam, at around 3:00 pm, on the 26th.

Jules Energy is an important partner of FEC Energy.  They are the Dutch software developers who created the trading platform, which our customers use to trade electricity and gas. They organised this event to enjoy some time together in a social and sportive setting and, in their words, “allow us to show you the most beautiful country in Europe, the Netherlands!

Our team left the FEC Energy offices, in Warwickshire, at 6:00 pm on 24th May, to catch an overnight ferry from Harwick to Hook of Holland.

Before they headed off, Elisa said “I am mostly looking forward to meeting members of staff from Jules Energy as well as suppliers who I speak to on a regular basis, but have never had the chance to meet face to face. However, I am not looking forward to three whole days of Mick’s jokes.”
