PHILADELPHIA, PA - BikeCo has hired Roy Hough, former General Manager of Hutchinson tires, and Edwin Bull, the founder and former President of Van Dessel Cycles, to its team.
"We are excited, but more importantly, we are fortunate in such turbulent times to announce the addition of two influential figures in the cycling industry to our team. Roy Hough, former General Manager of Hutchinson Tires North America, has joined us as Director of Sales & Business Development and Edwin Bull, founder and former president of Van Dessel Cycles, takes over as Road and Gravel Product Manager," says BikeCo President Frank Zimmer.
Roy Hough was formerly involved with the now BikeCo brands under its previous Advanced Sports ownership. After five years, Hough returns as the Director of Sales and Business Development. "I couldn't be more excited to rejoin many of the great people I worked with for a decade. I am looking forward to working with an amazing team building our great group of brands. In many ways it feels like I never left!" Hough says about returning to BikeCo.
Edwin Bull is best known for founding and running Van Dessel Cycles for years. As Bull closes that chapter, he joins BikeCo as Product Manager for the road and gravel segments. "I'm extremely excited to have joined the Fuji [BikeCo] team and see tremendous potential for the brand," Bull says. "With a 120 year heritage of producing top quality bikes, a rich history in racing, and a strong foothold in the core rider community, for me Fuji represents the dream brand that has it all – great depth and range in product, a great global distribution network, and tremendous potential for growth."
Adding strength and expertise to its Marketing and Brand team, BikeCo recently hired Elsbeth Huyett, our new Brand and Content Specialist.
