06 Sep New Hires – Nick Harnett & Chris Hall
Sponge are pleased to welcome Nick Harnett & Chris Hall to their expanding team.
Chris Hall is an avid road cyclist and is probably most well known for his epic challenge of cycling 107km every day for 107 days.
He rode his challenge throughout last winter to raise awareness for The PACE Centre, a children’s school for kids with motor based disorders such as cerebral palsy. You can find more info at his website.
In his spare time, Chris races with Spokes BPC Racing, a team run by the current British Land Speed Record Holder Ken Buckley, which specialises in time trials, criterium racing and cyclocross.
Chris spends a proportion of his time helping to support many of the younger riders on the team and has raced multiple distance time trials, from 10 miles to the National 24 hour TT in Wrexham earlier this year along with cyclocross races around the country.
Nick joins Sponge after spending 8 years working as a music publicist and the past two years working in a broadcast news agency.
He joins Sponge to strengthen our PR team, having previously looked after musicians and TV appearances for artists signed to Sony Music. Nick will be advising our team on broadcast media and using his cycling knowledge and passion to secure new opportunities.
Along with Chris, Nick cycles with several London collectives and is an avid member of the London cycling community.
Nick Harnett and Chris Hall will be helping manage our cycling community, working together on our growing portfolio of cycling and triathlon brands.
